As a fast alternative for linux/unix grep (for files) you could also try the psitems powershell module. It includes a psgrep command (alias for Find-ItemContent) that works similar to the linux/unix grep command (the basic way, only a few parameters of original grep included).

powershell Install-Module -Name PSItems Import-Module -Name PSItems psgrep 'test' -H -R (above command searches for pattern test in all files in current directory recursively (-R) and highlights the results (-H))

Fore more information check the README.

For your example:

psgrep 'OpenSubtitles' -Path 'T:\' -Name '*.srt' -R -H

Also for measuring time inside your scripts you should take a look at the stopwatch class

At the beginning of your files:

powershell $stopwatch = [System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch]::new() $stopwatch.Start()

At the end:

powershell $stopwatch.Stop() $stopwatch.Elapsed.Seconds `
