In Linux, when I want to filter by a term when a command will generate a giant list, I use the command grep .
For example:
ls | grep "termo"
However, in Windows there is no command grep .
What would be the equivalent of grep in Windows for both Power Shell and CMD?
Findstr
Examples:
Search for files that contain the expression: log :
dir /B | findstr /R /C:"[log]" :
where:
dir/B:Liststhefiles/directoriesfromthecurrentdirectory.findstr/R/C:Acceptsregularexpressionsandsearchesforaliteralstring,respectively.

Select-String
Example:
Search for files that contain the expression: log : Get-ChildItem *log* :
Findthecontentofthefile(s):log:Get-ChildItem|Select-String-Pattern"log" :
I think you're looking for findstr in cmd
Example:
C: > dir / B | findstr / R / C: "[mp]"
In PowerShell it's sls:
PS C: > New-Alias Select-String sls
