I'm trying to replace the word of
in a string, with a PowerShell script.
I have tried an if statement:
$string = "a tale of two cities "
$array = $string -split " "
if($array -match 'of') {
$array -replace 'bob'
}
The statement works at detecting of
but I don't know how to replace it with a different word.
A single expression using the -replace
operator is all you need:
> 'a tale of two cities' -replace '\bof\b', 'bob'
a tale bob two cities
If you want the resulting string split into words by whitespace:
$array = -split 'a tale of two cities' -replace '\bof\b', 'bob'
I find the method version a bit simpler:
"a tale of two cities ".Replace('of','bob')
Or even:
$string = "a tale of two cities "
$string.Replace('of','bob')
