Replace line in file from powershell

  • 772

I am using -replaceto change a line in a .txt file from powershell, only it gives me an error because the current line and the final line go inside " ", as I should put it, thanks.

get-content $FileA | foreach-object {$_ -replace "#  - "ws://127.0.0.1:8081"", "- "  ws://1.1.1.1:8081"" }| set-content $FileB

    Using the backtick ` character you can escape double quotes

    get-content $FileA | foreach-object {$_ -replace "#  - `"ws://127.0.0.1:8081`"", "- `"  ws://1.1.1.1:8081`"" }| set-content $FileB

    Although sometimes it's time to use backslash + backtick since PowerShell 5, I'm not sure if this is the case

    get-content $FileA | foreach-object {$_ -replace "#  - \`"ws://127.0.0.1:8081\`"", "- \`"  ws://1.1.1.1:8081\`"" }| set-content $FileB
