(gc myFile. txt) reads the content of myFile. txt ( gc is short for the Get-Content command) -replace 'foo', 'bar' simply runs the replace command to replace foo with bar.
When used in a command line, script, or batch file, %1 is used to represent a variable or matched string. For example, in a Microsoft batch file, %1 can print what is entered after the batch file name.
Expanding from Andriy M, and yes you can do this from a file, even one with multiple lines
@echo off setlocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion set "INTEXTFILE=test.txt" set "OUTTEXTFILE=test_out.txt" set "SEARCHTEXT=bath" set "REPLACETEXT=hello" for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%INTEXTFILE%"') do ( set "string=%%A" set "modified=!string:%SEARCHTEXT%=%REPLACETEXT%!" echo !modified!>>"%OUTTEXTFILE%" ) del "%INTEXTFILE%" rename "%OUTTEXTFILE%" "%INTEXTFILE%" endlocal EDIT
Thanks David Nelson, I have updated the script so it doesn't have the hard coded values anymore.
