用Powershell中的字符串文字和文件名替换文本文件中的字符串

Question

My google-fu has failed me, so I'd love to get some help with this issue. I have a directory full of markup files (extension .xft). I need to modify these files by adding string literals and the filename (without the file extension) to each file.

For example, I currently have:

<headerTag>
<otherTag>Some text here </otherTag>
<finalTag> More text </finalTag>

What I need to end up with is:

<modifiedHeaderTag>
<secondTag> filenameGoesHere </secondTag>
<otherTag>Some text here </otherTag>
<finalTag> More text </finalTag>

So in this example,

"<modifiedHeaderTag>
<secondTag>"

would be my first string literal (this is a constant that gets inserted into each file in the same place),

filenameGoesHere

would be the variable string (the name of each file) and,

"</secondTag>"

would be my second constant string literal.

I was able to successfully replace text using:

(Get-Content *.xft).Replace("<headerTag>", "<modifiedHeaderTag>")

However, when I tried

(Get-Content *.xft).Replace("<headerTag>", "<modifiedHeaderTag> `n 
<secondTag> $($_.Name) </secondTag>")

I just got an error message. Replacing $($_.Name) with ${$_.Name) also had no effect.

I've tried other things, but this method was the closest that I had gotten to success. I would appreciate any help that I can get. It's probably simple and I'm just not seeing something due to inexperience with Powershell, so a helping hand would be great.

If the above isn't clear enough, I'd be happy to provide more info, just let me know. Thanks everyone!

Here's my approach, assuming you have all of the XFT's in one folder and you want to write the updates back to the same file:

$path = "C:\XFTs_to_Modify"

$xfts = Get-ChildItem $path -Include "*.xft"

foreach ($xft in $xfts) {
    $replace = "<modifiedHeaderTag>
<secondTag> $($xft.Name) </secondTag>"
    (Get-Content *.xft).Replace("<headerTag>", $replace) | Set-Content $xft.FullName -Force
}
