Description
Set content in the item (specific location)

Usage


Options


Example(s)
Write a string into a text file:

PS C:\>Set-content -path C:\test.txt -value "Hello World"

Write the current date into a CSV file:

PS C:\>get-date | set-content C:\Test_date.csv

Edit-Replace some text in every line of the file foo.txt :

PS C:\>(get-content foo.txt) | foreach-object {$_ -replace "oldTxt", "newTxt"} | set-content foo.txt

The parentheses around (Get-Content) ensure that the Get operation is completed before the Set operation begins, wthout this the two functions would both try to access the file at the same time.
