How to get rid off annoying BEGIN CERTIFICATE from certutil output?

Question

I am trying to use certutil with its basic syntax to encode a string that shows me more than what i need. The output of the following

command:

certutil -encode pass.txt

output:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
Z29sZGVuZ2F0ZTEyMw==
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Please tell me how to use certutil command to get rid off these lines

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

OS: Windows 7

certutil -encode pass.txt | grep -v CERTIFICATE will work

edit:

grep -v removes lines that matches the regex provided, so this will remove any line containing the phrase "CERTIFICATE"

I am sorry, i forgot to let you know that i am using windows. – Shoki Mar 05 '19 at 10:28
What is alternate for grep in windows? – Shoki Mar 05 '19 at 10:47
In windows instead of grep you can use findstr. Like : findstr /v CERTIFICATE , add this with a pipe character and you will only see the base64 output – Devashish Priyadarshi Aug 07 '19 at 12:47
