# Tasks

What command can be used to search for regular expression strings from command prompt?

Using the skills acquired in this and previous sections, access the target host and search for the file named 'waldo.txt'. Submit the flag found within the file.

I first used the "where" command in powershell that didn't work at all so I entered the command prompt by entering the "cmd" command.&#x20;

Then I attempted to use where command to find the waldo.txt file, even with recursion it was not found, so I changed directories to the user folder and ran the command with recursion through all user folders and found that the file was in the user folder for MTanaka

So I changed directories, found the file and used the "type" command to output the file's contents to get the flag.
