Solution

  • Without a sample this example isn't accurate but you have to do something like this:

    (get-content c:\temp\yourfile.kml ) | % {  $_ -replace 'name','anothername' } | 
    set-content c:\temp\yourfile.kml
    

    This change ANY 'name' string with 'anothername' string:

    myname it's my name  
    

    become

    myanothername it's my anothername
