I am trying to remove all the lines from a text file that contains a partial string using the below PowerShell code:
Get-Content C:\new\temp_*.txt | Select-String -pattern "H|159" -notmatch | Out-File C:\new\newfile.txt
The actual string is H|159|28-05-2005|508|xxx, it repeats in the file multiple times, and I am trying to match only the first part as specified above. Is that correct? Currently I am getting empty as output.
Am I missing something?

Trimming an Array of Characters You can provide the PowerShell trim() method with an array of characters. Providing the trim() method with an array of characters will remove all of those characters until it encounters one, not in that array from the beginning and end of a string object.
PowerShell can be used to perform different windows operations, such as creating folders, directories. Similarly, text files can also be handled using PowerShell; we can edit text files to append or remove the content from the text files.
We can use following script to remove space at the end of each line in a file with the help of powershell script. $InputFile = 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\1. txt' write-host "removing trailing space.. of file $InputFile" $content = Get-Content $InputFile $content | Foreach {$_. TrimEnd()} | Set-Content newfile.
Suppose you want to write that in the same file, you can do as follows:
Set-Content -Path "C:\temp\Newtext.txt" -Value (get-content -Path "c:\Temp\Newtext.txt" | Select-String -Pattern 'H\|159' -NotMatch)
Escape the | character using a backtick
get-content c:\new\temp_*.txt | select-string -pattern 'H`|159' -notmatch | Out-File c:\new\newfile.txt
