Escaping a quote in findstr search string

Asked 2011-02-13T06:29:52.400

How can I properly escape a quote in a search string when using findstr.exe?

Example:

findstr /misc:"namespace=\"" *.cs > ns.txt

This outputs to the console, instead of to the file I specified.

I am doing this directly on the command line, not actually in a batch file, though that information might be useful too.

batch-file escaping quotes findstr

Try this: 

findstr > x.txt /S /I /M /C:"\.\"" *

I have no idea why this works.

Doesn't work for piping the output though. See the related link piping findstr's output
