Grep is your friend. You can download a free copy for Windows from
multiple places on the net. Something like:
grep -i jsmith pwdump_output.txt >> parsed.txt
should do the trick. Then just run the command over and over replacing
the account name as appropriate.
I'm not sure of the exact syntax on the Windows side, but on UNIX you
could automate this with a simple shell script. Create a file that has
one user account per line in a file, and assuming the file is named
user.lst, just do a:
while read USERS ; do
grep -i $USERS pwdump_output.txt >> parsed.txt
done < user.lst
HTH,
