对Set-Content命令的小修正。如果没有找到搜索的字符串，Set-Content命令将清空目标文件。

您可以首先验证要查找的字符串是否存在。否则，它将无法取代任何东西。

If (select-string -path "c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" -pattern "String to look for") `
    {(Get-Content c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).replace('String to look for', 'String to replace with') | Set-Content c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts}
    Else{"Nothing happened"}

下面是一个相当简单的例子，它支持多行正则表达式、多个文件(使用管道)、指定输出编码等。由于ReadAllText方法，不建议用于非常大的文件。

# Update-FileText.ps1

#requires -version 2

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Updates text in files using a regular expression.

.DESCRIPTION
Updates text in files using a regular expression.

.PARAMETER Pattern
Specifies the regular expression pattern.

.PARAMETER Replacement
Specifies the regular expression replacement pattern.

.PARAMETER Path
Specifies the path to one or more files. Wildcards are not supported. Each file is read entirely into memory to support multi-line searching and replacing, so performance may be slow for large files.

.PARAMETER CaseSensitive
Specifies case-sensitive matching. The default is to ignore case.

.PARAMETER SimpleMatch
Specifies a simple match rather than a regular expression match (i.e., the Pattern parameter specifies a simple string rather than a regular expression).

.PARAMETER Multiline
Changes the meaning of ^ and $ so they match at the beginning and end, respectively, of any line, and not just the beginning and end of the entire file. The default is that ^ and $, respectively, match the beginning and end of the entire file.

.PARAMETER UnixText
Causes $ to match only linefeed (\n) characters. By default, $ matches carriage return+linefeed (\r\n). (Windows-based text files usually use \r\n as line terminators, while Unix-based text files usually use only \n.)

.PARAMETER Overwrite
Overwrites a file by creating a temporary file containing all replacements and then replacing the original file with the temporary file. The default is to output but not overwrite.

.PARAMETER Force
Allows overwriting of read-only files. Note that this parameter cannot override security restrictions.

.PARAMETER Encoding
Specifies the encoding for the file when -Overwrite is used. Possible values for this parameter are ASCII, BigEndianUnicode, Unicode, UTF32, UTF7, and UTF8. The default value is ASCII.

.INPUTS
System.IO.FileInfo.

.OUTPUTS
System.String (single-line file) or System.String[] (file with more than one line) without the -Overwrite parameter, or nothing with the -Overwrite parameter.

.EXAMPLE
C:\> Update-FileText.ps1 '(Ferb) and (Phineas)' '$2 and $1' Story.txt

This command replaces the text 'Ferb and Phineas' with the text 'Phineas and Ferb' in the file Story.txt and outputs the content. Note that the pattern and replacement strings are enclosed in single quotes to prevent variable expansion.

.EXAMPLE
C:\> Update-FileText.ps1 'Perry' 'Agent P' Story2.txt -Overwrite

This command replaces the text 'Perry' with the text 'Agent P' in the file Story2.txt.

用途(V3版本):

(Get-Content c:\temp\test.txt).replace('[MYID]', 'MyValue') | Set-Content c:\temp\test.txt

对于V2:

(Get-Content c:\temp\test.txt) -replace '\[MYID\]', 'MyValue' | Set-Content c:\temp\test.txt

你可以尝试这样做:

$path = "C:\testFile.txt"
$word = "searchword"
$replacement = "ReplacementText"
$text = get-content $path 
$newText = $text -replace $word,$replacement
$newText > $path

有点旧和不同，因为我需要在特定文件名的所有实例中更改某一行。

此外，Set-Content没有返回一致的结果，所以我不得不求助于Out-File。

下面的代码:

$FileName =''
$OldLine = ''
$NewLine = ''
$Drives = Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem
foreach ($Drive in $Drives) {
    Push-Location $Drive.Root
        Get-ChildItem -Filter "$FileName" -Recurse | ForEach { 
            (Get-Content $_.FullName).Replace($OldLine, $NewLine) | Out-File $_.FullName
        }
    Pop-Location
}

这是最适合我的PowerShell版本:
