I need to display the first 50 lines of the output of a command (any command). In other words, I essentially want an equivalent of the Unix "head" command.
but I dont have permission to create file using the command :
C:> netstat -an > temp.txt && for /l %l in (1,1,10) do @for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=:" %a in ('findstr /n /r "^" temp.txt ^| findstr /r "^%l:"') do @echo %b
Since the command executes on a remote server it does not allow creation of files, please help me change this command to pipe with another command.
I am working on a getting a list of only 50 files that have a specific file name pattern e.g. taha_12345_T_T_00987.txt from a specific folder.

Do you have access to PowerShell? It is usually available starting with XP/Server 2003.
