In the example I am replacing every .html file in the folder that has my line of
the words ‘old Text’ and replacing with words ‘new TeXT’ *(using Power Shell to replace strings)
You can change the file extension and update the location path to a single file to replace text in one file only.
get-childItem 'C:\scripts\*.txt' -recurse | ForEach {
(Get-Content $_ | ForEach {$_ -replace 'OLD TeXT', ' NEW TeXT'}) |
Set-Content $_
}

Powershell script to remove text from each file in a directory.
*In Linux-Unix SED works very well for this.
POWERSHELL “Sed like”
Using variables to recurse a directory cheating using set-content to work like
regular expression

#REMOVE
#var old is text to remove
$old = ','
#var $new = the text you want to replace ( I am replacing text with
# a blank space)
$new = ''
#change the Get-ChildItem to a folder or your choice

I love notepad++ but hate the default white background. This little install makes NotePad++ have a nice dark background with full syntax highlighting possible with powershell.
1. Delete DeepBlack theme: (C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes\)
2. Download powershell updated DeepBlack Theme (Attached File: Deep Black theme with Powershell, sorted. ): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3389453&group_id=95717&atid=612384
3. Add the downloaded XML to (C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes\)
(add to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes
*OLDER VERSION2. Download: http://poshcode.org/notepad++lexer/
Once downloaded, unpack the zip and put all the files / folders into the Notepad++ Plugins folder
(add to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins)

#PowerShell WordPress syntax Highlighting IT WORKS!
1. Download http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntax-highlighter/installation/
2. Go to wordpress–> plugins –>ADD NEW –> Chose File (u downloaded)–> Install Now
3. The image with red marks shows syntax hightligher powershell open and close tag –
(It took me way to long to figure out what the start stop tags were
hence the image /photo on left with red maker underling the CODE!
START TAG [ language="powershell" ] foo script [/code] END TAG
#IT WORKS!
if ($c -eq "Cat")

else

All script examples are “as is, where is”, they come with absolutely zero guarantee. Test first via a non-production environment. !! Be smart -- test first on things you don't care about.!!!
