因为这个经常出现，我为它定义了一个函数。我默认使用区分大小写、基于正则表达式的匹配，但我添加了针对文字文本和忽略大小写的开关。

# Find and replace text in each pipeline string.  Omit the -Replace parameter to delete
# text instead.  Use the -SimpleMatch switch to work with literal text instead of regular
# expressions.  Comparisons are case-sensitive unless the -IgnoreCase switch is used.
Filter Edit-String {
    Param([string]$Find, [string]$Replace='', [switch]$SimpleMatch, [switch]$IgnoreCase) 

    if ($SimpleMatch) {
        if ($IgnoreCase) {
            return $_.Replace($Find, $Replace,
                [System.StringComparison]::OrdinalIgnoreCase)
        }
        return $_.Replace($Find, $Replace)
    }
    if ($IgnoreCase) {
        return $_ -replace $Find, $Replace
    }
    return $_ -creplace $Find, $Replace
}

Set-Alias replace Edit-String
Set-Alias sc Set-Content  

使用

# 1 file
$f = a.txt; gc $f | replace '[MYID]' 'MyValue' -SimpleMatch | sc $f

# 0 to many files
gci *.txt | % { gc $_ | replace '\[MYID\]' 'MyValue' | sc $_ }

# Several replacements chained together
... | replace '[1-9]' T | replace a b -IgnoreCase | replace 'delete me' | ...

# Alias cheat sheet
#  gci Get-ChildItem
#  gc  Get-Content
#  sc  Set-Conent
#  %   ForEach-Object

我从帕耶特的Windows Powershell in Action中找到了一个鲜为人知但非常酷的方法。您可以像引用变量一样引用文件，类似于$env:path，但需要添加花括号。

${c:file.txt} = ${c:file.txt} -replace 'oldvalue','newvalue'

这是我使用的，但它在大文本文件上很慢。

get-content $pathToFile | % { $_ -replace $stringToReplace, $replaceWith } | set-content $pathToFile

如果你要替换大型文本文件中的字符串，并且速度是一个问题，请考虑使用System.IO.StreamReader和System.IO.StreamWriter。

try
{
   $reader = [System.IO.StreamReader] $pathToFile
   $data = $reader.ReadToEnd()
   $reader.close()
}
finally
{
   if ($reader -ne $null)
   {
       $reader.dispose()
   }
}

$data = $data -replace $stringToReplace, $replaceWith

try
{
   $writer = [System.IO.StreamWriter] $pathToFile
   $writer.write($data)
   $writer.close()
}
finally
{
   if ($writer -ne $null)
   {
       $writer.dispose()
   }
}

(上面的代码没有经过测试。)

使用StreamReader和StreamWriter替换文档中的文本可能还有一种更优雅的方式，但这应该是一个很好的起点。

示例替换文件夹内的所有字符串:

$path=$args[0]
$oldString=$args[1]
$newString=$args[2]

Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -File | 
ForEach-Object { 
    (Get-Content $_.FullName).replace($oldString,$newString) | Set-Content $_.FullName 
}

上面的只对“一个文件”运行，但你也可以对文件夹中的多个文件运行:

Get-ChildItem 'C:yourfile*.xml' -Recurse | ForEach {
     (Get-Content $_ | ForEach  { $_ -replace '[MYID]', 'MyValue' }) |
     Set-Content $_
}

(Get-Content file.txt) | 
Foreach-Object {$_ -replace '\[MYID\]','MyValue'}  | 
Out-File file.txt

注意(Get-Content file.txt)周围的括号是必需的:

Without the parenthesis the content is read, one line at a time, and flows down the pipeline until it reaches out-file or set-content, which tries to write to the same file, but it's already open by get-content and you get an error. The parenthesis causes the operation of content reading to be performed once (open, read and close). Only then when all lines have been read, they are piped one at a time and when they reach the last command in the pipeline they can be written to the file. It's the same as $content=content; $content | where ...
