Filter out wmic process when searching for a process with commandline-CodePudding

I am trying to find an application by the name myapp directly from command prompt and from a batch script by running the following command:

D:\Files>wmic process where "commandline like '%myapp%'" get processid, commandline            
CommandLine                                                                  ProcessId  
wmic  process where "commandline like '%myapp%'" get processid, commandline  10744     
myapp myarg1 myarg2 myarg3                                                   2423

I want to filter out the wmic process entry itself. I tried the following command:

D:\Files>wmic process where "commandline like '%myapp%' and commandline not like '%wmic%'" get processid, commandline
Node - XXXXXXXXXXX
ERROR:
Description = Invalid query

which outputs invalid query error.

I tried manually skipping the first line with more 1 but it may happen that the order of entries is not fixed. What should I do to remove the wmic process entry?

CodePudding user response：

Specify any one character within a range by surrounding it with square brackets [].

Using the java example in your comments:

In a batch-file (double %% for the like statement)

@echo off
wmic process where "commandline like '%%[m]y-complex-application.jar%%'" get processid, commandline

in cmd (single % for like statement)

wmic process where "commandline like '%[m]y-complex-application.jar%'" get processid, commandline
