Adding Text to the End of a Line - Not Simple :)

[asistla]

Hello All,

Have a question, I have the following line in a config file and I need to add some text to the end of the line. Problem is that there are 2 areas in the line , one where there is a client name (that changes in each config file) and the second where there is a client id number (also changes in each config file).

Here is the line:

"-ExecutionPolicy ByPass L:\LRO\CLIENTNAME\prog\scripts\EtlDailyLoadSchedule.ps1 -clientid CLIENTID"

I need this to say :

"-ExecutionPolicy ByPass L:\LRO\CLIENTNAME\prog\scripts\EtlDailyLoadSchedule.ps1 -clientid CLIENTID" defer="Y"

Thanks for your help.

Try this -

Code: Select all

RegEx:
(-ExecutionPolicy ByPass.*)\r\n

Replace:
$1 defer="Y"\r\n

Try a file in the tester first! This will change every 'ExecutionPolicy ByPass' line, and assumes that your files use CRLF line endings.

Thanks much for the help, we are very close.

The find is finding the right information:

-ExecutionPolicy ByPass L:\LRO\xxx\prog\scripts\EtlDailyLoadSchedule.ps1 -clientid 31" maxmins="60" start-hhmm="0300">

Problem is that there is an end bracket at the end of the line and it is placing the inserted defer after the bracket

-ExecutionPolicy ByPass L:\LRO\xxx\prog\scripts\EtlDailyLoadSchedule.ps1 -clientid 31" maxmins="60" start-hhmm="0300"> defer="Y"

I need the defer to go inside the end bracket.

Thanks again for your assistance.

If it is on every occurrence you could just replace the /r/n with the >

regex: (-ExecutionPolicy ByPass.*)>
rep: $1 defer="Y">


Or if it just happens in some places you could do a second pass with:

search: > defer="Y"
replace: defer="Y">
