I have two text file which contains following
file1.txt
Abcd
Efgh
HIJK
sample.txt
Some pre content goes here
File1Content
Now what i am trying to do is read all content from file1.txt and use sample.txt and replace File1Content word with actual content of the file1.txt but it is providing output in single line.
output.txt should look like this
Some pre content goes here
Abcd
Efgh
HIJK
But it is currently looking like this
Some pre content goes here
Abcd Efgh HIJK
I am using following code which works , i tried adding r and n but it doesnt work. Could someone please help
$filecontent = Get-Content "C:\location\file1.txt"
(Get-Content -path C:\Location\sample.txt -Raw) ForEach-Object { $_ -replace "File1Content", "$filecontent`r`n" } | Set-Content C:\Export\output.txt
You have to add the NewLine to each entry in $filecontent
. You could do this using the -join
operator:
$_ -replace "File1Content", "$($filecontent -join [Environment]::NewLine)"
