Im trying to create a ps script which appends the string ;history directly after ;stylesheets but currently the script is creating an additional line when i want it to append it directly after.
This is how it is suppose to look
;stylesheets;history
But this is what happens
;stylesheets
;history
Can someone explain why?
(Get-Content K:\Temp\test.properties) |
Foreach-Object {
$_
if ($_ -match ";stylesheets")
{ ";history"
}
} | Set-Content K:\Temp\test.properties
Alternative solution:
(Get-Content K:\Temp\test.properties).Replace(';stylesheets',';stylesheets;history') |
Set-Content K:\Temp\test.properties
You are getting two lines because you are returning two objects when you match. #($_,";history") and each object is written as a line. You could combine them into one string when you match.
(Get-Content K:\Temp\test.properties) |
Foreach-Object {
if ($_ -match ";stylesheets") {
"$_;history"
} else {
$_
}
} | Set-Content K:\Temp\test.properties

I have a file called "file123624.TXT" that contains this information:
FKHOGU1100;;;;;;;;;;;;;randomdata;1;0;2;1234
YJKMRI1101;;;;;;;;;;;;;randomdata;1;0;2;1234
FWPCYY1113;GV;randomdata;5;;;;;;;6018;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
VOBYTM1100;;;;;;;;;;;;;randomdata;1;0;2;1234
ZSOKHW1160;GV;randomdata;53;;;;;;;7353;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
YCHQHS1123;GV;randomdata;4;;;;;;;5063;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
YXRCZO1105;GV;randomdata;39;;;;;;;9510;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
XVDUEM1100;GV;randomdata;14;;;;;;;9901;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
CHECKSUM;0000008
All i want to do is add an - after the first six characters in the file, except for the last line "CHECKSUM; 0000008"
I have made a small powershell script that almost does the trick:
$file = Get-Content "C:\Users\usr\Desktop\file*.txt"
foreach ($i in $file)
{
if($i -notmatch "CHECKSUM*")
{$I.Insert(6,'-')}
}
This script output the lines i need to be changed, but i cant replace them line for line.
The result i want in the "file123624.txt" after running the script is this:
FKHOGU-1100;;;;;;;;;;;;;randomdata;1;0;2;1234
YJKMRI-1101;;;;;;;;;;;;;randomdata;1;0;2;1234
FWPCYY-1113;GV;randomdata;5;;;;;;;6012;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
VOBYTM-1100;;;;;;;;;;;;;randomdata;1;0;2;1234
ZSOKHW-1160;GV;randomdata;53;;;;;;;7653;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
YCHQHS-1123;GV;randomdata;4;;;;;;;5463;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
YXRCZO-1105;GV;randomdata;39;;;;;;;9210;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
XVDUEM-1100;GV;randomdata;14;;;;;;;9401;randomdata;GU;;1;0;2;1234
CHECKSUM;0000008
Any solutions or tips on this would be appreciated
You can do the following, which utilizes the Foreach-Object and has a similar structure to your current code.
$file = Get-Content file123624.TXT | Foreach-Object {
if ($_ -notmatch '^CHECKSUM') {
$_.Insert(6,'-')
}
else {
$_
}
}
$file | Set-Content file123624.TXT
I want to be able to split some text out of a txtfile:
For example:
Brackets#Release 1.11.6#Path-to-Brackets
Atom#v1.4#Path-to-Atom
I just want to have the "Release 1.11.6" part. I am doing a where-object starts with Brackets but I don't know the full syntax. Here is my code:
"Get-Content -Path thisfile.txt | Where-Object{$_ < IM STUCK HERE > !
You could do this:
((Get-Content thisfile.txt | Where-Object { $_ -match '^Brackets' }) -Split '#')[1]
This uses the -match operator to filter out any lines that don't start with Brackets (the ^ special regex character indicates that what follows must be at the beginning of the line). Then it uses the -Split operator to split those lines on # and then it uses the array index [1] to get the second element of the split (arrays start at 0).
Note that this will throw an error if the split on # doesn't return at least two elements and it assumes that the text you want is always the second of those elements.
$bracketsRelease = Get-Content -path thisfile.txt | foreach-object {
if ( $_ -match 'Brackets#(Release [^#]+)#' )
{
$Matches[1]
}
}
or
(select-string -Path file.txt -Pattern 'Brackets#(Release [^#]+)#').Matches[0].Groups[1].value
I have to read one properties file (let's say prop.txt) and update it dynamically.
Content looks like this.
server.names=xyz[500],server2[500],test[500]
I wanted to replace the content anything after server.names= with correct values, e.g.:
server1.company.com[500],server2.company.com[500],server3.company.com[500]
I tried below command but it is replacing server.names=. I want to replace the values of server.names=
(Get-Content $path).Replace("server.names=",$NewServerNames) | Set-Content $path
Any idea how to replace the value of server.names=?
You were close, but your syntax is off. This solution utilizes regex to capture the original key:
$Pattern = 'server\.names='
Get-Content -Path $Path |
ForEach-Object {
If ($_ -match $Pattern)
{
$_ -replace "($Pattern).*","$1$NewServerNames"
}
Else
{
$_
}
} |
Set-Content -Path $Path
Using Powershell, I am simply trying to pull 15 characters starting from the 37th position of any record that begins with a 6. I'd like to loop through and generate a record for each instance so it can later be put into an output file. But I seem to not be hitting the correct syntax just to return the 15 characters I know I am missing something obvious. Been at this for a while. Here is my script:
$content = Get-Content -Path .\tmfhsyst*.txt | Where-Object { $_.StartsWith("6") }
foreach ($line in $contents)
{
$val102 = $line.substring(36,15)
}
write-output $val102
Just as Bill_Stewart pointed out, you need to move your Write-Output line inside the ForEach loop. A possibly better way to do it would just be to pipe it:
Get-Content -Path .\tmfhsyst*.txt | Where-Object { $_.StartsWith("6") } | foreach{$_.substring(36,15)}
That should give you the output you desired.
Using Substring() has the disadvantage that it will raise an error if the string is shorter than start index + substring length. You can avoid this with a regular expression match:
(Get-Content -Path .\tmfhsyst*.txt) -match '^6.{35}(.{15})' | % { $matches[1] }
I wrote this so far, it runs through and does exactly what I want, now I'm stuck. I can't seem to get it to open the newly created $NOSPACE.shtml and replace a word with the variable $SPACE though. A little help please?
$CITYLIST=import-csv CityList.txt
$CITYLIST | FOREACH-OBJECT { $_ }
FOREACH ($Item in $CITYLIST) {
$Item.City
$NOSPACE=$Item.City.replace(" ","_")
$SPACE=$Item.City
Add-Content _citylist.shtml "`n<a class=`"cityareaslist`" href=`"`/$NOSPACE.shtml`"> $SPACE<`/a>" ; Copy-Item index.shtml "$NOSPACE.shtml"
}
(Get-Content "$NOSPACE.shtml") |
Foreach-Object {$_ -replace 'word',$SPACE} |
Set-Content "$NOSPACE.shtml"
