Use ADB Pull to pull files based on filename

I am trying to use ADB to pull files based on their filename containing certain characters. Phone is not rooted HTC One. PC is Windows 7.

I found this question: adb pull multiple files

The original code in that thread was:

adb shell ls /sdcard/gps*.trace | tr "\n\r" " " | xargs -n1 adb pull

I have modified it to:

ADB shell ls /mnt/sdcard/dcim/100Media/IMAG07* | tr "\r\n" " " | xargs -n1 adb pull \HTC2

When I run the code, I get an error that "'tr' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the help! I figured out what I was doing to make your code work. I am very new to this (5 days ago downloaded SDK for the first time) so it took a bit for me to work through the code. I added cmd \k at the end so the command prompt would stay open and I could verify what it had done.

rem@echo off
rem ======== Modify this line to your pattern =====
C:\Users\Neil\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1\platform-tools\adb shell ls /mnt/sdcard/dcim/100Media/IMAG09*.jpg >_temp
rem =================================================

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f %%i in (_temp) do (
    echo %%i>_temp
    set /p file=<_temp
    echo pulling file: !file!
    C:\Users\Dan\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1\platform-tools\adb pull !file! 
)
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
del _temp
cmd /k

There's no build-in "tr" or "xargs" command in windows. Here's my working batch script for windows. Modify the pattern and save it as a ***.bat file, copy it to the local directory(in your case the HTC2 folder), and double click it or run it in the cmd window in this folder.

pull_multiple_files

@echo off
rem ======== Modify this line to your pattern =====
adb shell ls /sdcard/*.png >_temp
rem =================================================

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f %%i in (_temp) do (
    echo %%i>_temp
    set /p file=<_temp
    echo pulling file: !file!
    adb pull !file!
)
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
del _temp
