Consolidates the contents of the files instead of editing one by one-CodePudding

$file = 'G\*\configs.txt'
$find = '192.168.152.161:8011'
$replace = '{appconfigs.writes}'

(Get-Content $file).replace($find, $replace) | Set-Content $file

When I run the edit script on all the files together The script unites them and does not edit one by one.

what can we do?

CodePudding user response：

You are trying to potentially process multiple files. Therefore, you cannot use Get-Content straight away. You need to wrap this in a loop.

Here is an example on how to do this.

$find = '192.168.152.161:8011'
$replace = '{appconfigs.writes}'

foreach ($File in Get-ChildItem -Path 'G\*\configs.txt') {
    $Content = Get-Content -Path $File.FullName -Raw
    #IndexOf to avoid using Set-Content on files that did not change
    if ($Content.IndexOf($find) -gt -1) {
        $Content.replace($find, $replace) | Set-Content $file.FullName
    }
}
