I use below code to change strings in files:
Set-Location -Path C:\Users\Documents\corporate
foreach ($file in get-ChildItem *.rdl)
{
$_.Replace("Protection", "Converters") | Set-Content $file
$_.Replace("Drives", "Automation") | Set-Content $file
$_.Replace("MACHINES", "Generators") | Set-Content $file
$file.name
}
I want to add information what has changed in individual files.
For example:
file 1 Protection
file 3 Protection, MACHINES
try this way ...
Get-Content -Path "C:\Users\Documents\corporate" -Filter "*.rdl" | ForEach-Object {
$Local:CurrentFileFullName = $_.FullName
((Get-Content -Path $CurrentFileFullName ) -replace "Protection", "Converters" -replace "Drives", "Automation" -replace "MACHINES", "Generators" | Set-Content $CurrentFileFullName -Force)
}

I have many folder
ex: folder1,folder2,folder3... about folder100
In those folder have many files
ex: 1.html,2.html,3.html,4.html...about 20.html
I want to replace some text in those all html file in all folder
but not all text i want to replace is same.
ex:(for 1.html, i want to replace ./1_files/style.css to style.css) and (for 2.html, i want to replace ./2_files/style.css to style.css)....
So i try something like this and it work well
Get-ChildItem "*\1.html" -Recurse | ForEach-Object -Process {
(Get-Content $_) -Replace './1_files/style.css', 'style.css' | Set-Content $_
}
Get-ChildItem "*\2.html" -Recurse | ForEach-Object -Process {
(Get-Content $_) -Replace './2_files/style.css', 'style.css' | Set-Content $_
}
Get-ChildItem "*\3.html" -Recurse | ForEach-Object -Process {
(Get-Content $_) -Replace './3_files/style.css', 'style.css' | Set-Content $_
}
Get-ChildItem "*\4.html" -Recurse | ForEach-Object -Process {
(Get-Content $_) -Replace './4_files/style.css', 'style.css' | Set-Content $_
}
but i have to write many of those code "\4.html" "\5.html" "*\6.html" ...
i try this but it do not work
Do {
$val++
Write-Host $val
$Fn = "$val.html"
Get-ChildItem "*\$Fn" -Recurse | ForEach-Object -Process {
(Get-Content $_) -Replace './$val_files/style.css', 'style.css' |
Set-Content $_
}
} while($val -ne 100)
Please show me correct way to do..loop replace
thanks you
Assuming all your subfolders can be found inside one source folder path, you can do below to do the replacement in all those files:
# the path where all subfolders and html files can be found
$sourcePath = 'X:\Wherever\Your\Subfolders\Are\That\Contain\The\Html\Files'
Get-ChildItem -Path $sourcePath -Filter '*.html' -Recurse -File |
# filter on html files that have a numeric basename
Where-Object {$_.BaseName -match '(\d+)'} | ForEach-Object {
# construct the string to repace and escape the regex special characters
$replace = [regex]::Escape(('./{0}_files/style.css' -f $matches[1]))
# get the content as one single multiline string so -replace works faster
(Get-Content -Path $_.FullName -Raw) -replace $replace, 'style.css' |
Set-Content -Path $_.FullName
}
I have written the below conditional script to go through the files in the directory and replace the one text in all files only if file contains the word as 'Health'
cd -Path "\\shlhfilprd08\Direct Credits\Temp2"
ForEach ($file in (Get-ChildItem -Path "\\shlhfilprd08\Direct Credits\Temp2"))
{
$filecontent = Get-Content -path $file -First 1
if($filecontent -like '*Health*'){$filecontent = $filecontent -replace 'TEACHERF','UniHlth '}
Set-Content $file.PSpath -Value $filecontent
}
I come across with two issues such as
If the ($filecontent -like 'Health'), it is replacing the word in first raw and deleting other rows along with replace.I do not want that to happen
I'm getting set-content to path is denied error message for file content does not contain the Health text
Can you try with this
cd -Path "\\shlhfilprd08\Direct Credits\Temp2"
$configFiles = Get-ChildItem . *.config -rec
foreach ($file in $configFiles)
{
(Get-Content $file.PSPath) |
Foreach-Object { $_ -replace "TEACHERF", "UniHlth " } |
Set-Content $file.PSPath
}
I would try this; it worked for me in a little file
(make a small copy of a few data into a new folder and test it there)
$path = "\\shlhfilprd08\Direct Credits\Temp2"
$replace ="TEACHERF" #word to be replaced
$by = "UniHlth " #by this word (change $replace by $by)
gci $path -file | %{
foreach($line in $(Get-content $_.Fullname)){
if($line -like $replace){
$newline = $line.Replace($($replace),$($by))
Set-Content $_.FullName $newline
}
}
}
in particular path i need to find ""' and replace it with "' in multiple files
Tried below code but its not working due to special character to be found and replaced
$configFiles = Get-ChildItem . *.ini -rec
foreach ($file in $configFiles)
{
(Get-Content $file.PSPath) |
Foreach-Object { $_ -replace """'", ""'" } |
Set-Content $file.PSPath
}
You're not escaping your characters properly:
$configFiles = Get-ChildItem -Filter *.ini -Recurse
ForEach ($file in $configFiles)
{
#(Get-Content -Path $file.FullName) -replace "`"{2}'", "`"'" |
Set-Content -Path $file.FullName
}
Newbie stuck doing the basics.
I'm trying to copy files from A to B & then replace text within each file copied. Pretty basic - but it fails What am I doing wrong? Any assistance would be welcome - please. nb I believe I need to use copy-item, alternatives okay as long as same result.
$files = Copy-Item -Path "C:\from" -Filter *.* -Recurse -Destination "C:\to" -Force -PassThru
foreach ($file in $files) {
Get-Item $file |
Where-Object {-not $_.PsIsContainer} |
(Get-Content .) |
Foreach-Object {
$_ -replace ( "maskkey", $maskvalue} |
Set-Content $file
}
}
You need to move the get-content part within the foreach-object script block, and use $_ instead of .
So, something like this:
foreach($file in $files){
Get-Item $file | Where-Object {-not ($_.PsIsContainer)} | Foreach-Object{
$content = Get-Content $_
$newContent = $content.replace("maskkey", $maskvalue)
Set-Content -Value $newContent -Path $file
}
}
Note. I haven't actually tested this code, but you should at least have the basic structure right.
I'm trying to do a replace in content of all files in a certain directory structure.
get-childItem temp\*.* -recurse |
get-content |
foreach-object {$_.replace($stringToFind1, $stringToPlace1)} |
set-content [original filename]
Can I get the filename from the original get-childItem to use it in the set-content?
Add processing for each file:
get-childItem *.* -recurse | % `
{
$filepath = $_.FullName;
(get-content $filepath) |
% { $_ -replace $stringToFind1, $stringToPlace1 } |
set-content $filepath -Force
}
Key points:
$filepath = $_.FullName; — get path to file
(get-content $filepath) — get content and close file
set-content $filepath -Force — save modified content
You can simply use $_, but you need a foreach-object around each file, too. While #akim's answer will work, the use of $filepath is unnecessary:
gci temp\*.* -recurse | foreach-object { (Get-Content $_) | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace $stringToFind1, $stringToPlace1 } | Set-Content $_ }
