On my version of Windows (DOS doesn't have a "findstr" command or program) ?
Exactly like that.
Well, without that "$ " prefix (no idea what its for or from). And I'm not
sure why you included that "-i", or enclosed that "\!" in double-quotes
Here the minimal working command is :
findstr \! file.text
