I'd like to replace a word inside a .cfg
file with the name of the current user.
I know $env:username
outputs the current user.
This is what I got:
(Get-Content -path path\example.cfg -Raw) -replace 'TEST','current_user' | Set-Content path\example.cfg
I'm trying to replace the word "TEST" with the current user.
Just replace your literal string 'current_user'
with $env:username
and you're good to go:)
(Get-Content -path path\example.cfg -Raw) -replace 'TEST',$env:username | Set-Content path\example.cfg
Note that -replace
is a regex operator, so we can even qualify the word we're looking for:
(Get-Content -path path\example.cfg -Raw) -replace '\bTEST\b',$env:username | Set-Content path\example.cfg
\b
means "word boundary" in regex, and will help you avoid partially replacing TEST
in words like "HOTTEST" or "TESTICULAR"
