website - How can I automate a mass edit of text files located in a Win 8.1 directory? -
good day,
in specific directory under win 8.1, have these hundreds of text files extension *.xml, representing web site.
in each , every of files there 1 occurence of tag known content, <tag>old</tag>
.
in these pages, specific text needs replaced <tag>new</tag>
. subdirectories exist, not need examined.
how automate task? (i not familiar powershell, don't think i've ever used it, heading right direction? if not - apologies misleading tag.)
thanks in advance!
try powershell script.
$myfiles=get-childitem c:\folder *.xml -rec foreach ($file in $myfiles) { (get-content $file.pspath) | foreach-object {$_ -replace "<tag>old</tag>", "<tag>new</tag>"} | set-content $file.pspath }
