Save multiple text files to csv files - powershell

Question

I'm working on a script to format a directory full of text files and export them to CSV files. I want it to perform the search and replace on each file to format it properly, export it to a CSV with the same filename, then move to the next txt file. I have the search and replace working, but can't work out how to save each text file with its original filename. What am I doing wrong?
$path = "H:\My Documents\EmailSaveAs\"
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $path -include *.txt -recurse
echo $files
foreach($file in $files) {
Foreach-Object {
$_ -replace "`r`n`t", "," -replace "\s`r`n", "," -replace "Bytes `r`nOut", "Bytes Out" -replace "`t", "," -replace "Idle-`r`ntimeout", "Idle-timeout" -replace ",#Date", "#Date"
} |
Set-Content $path $(.BaseName + ".csv")
}

Answer 1

Try this:
$path = "H:\My Documents\EmailSaveAs\"
$files = Get-ChildItem $path -include *.txt -recurse
echo $files
foreach($file in $files) {
$updatedContent = Get-Content $file.FullName -Raw | Foreach-Object {
$_ -replace "`r`n`t", "," -replace "\s`r`n", "," -replace "Bytes `r`nOut", "Bytes Out" -replace "`t", "," -replace "Idle-`r`ntimeout", "Idle-timeout" -replace ",#Date", "#Date"
}
$newFilename = [io.path]::ChangeExtension($file, ".csv")
Set-Content $newFilename $updatedContent
}
Your original code was accessing $_ when it wasn't executing in a pipeline context. Note that the -Raw parameter on Get-Content is new in V3.
