PowerShell Notes

Searching/Grepping files

PowerShell equivalent of egrep:

Select-String <string>

and egrep -r:

dir -Recurse | Select-String <string>

Example, search all .h files for the string "text":

dir -Include *.h -Recurse | Select-String text

Renaming multiple files

Example, rename all text files in the current directory to have a .puml extension instead of .txt.

Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.txt" | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace 'txt','puml' }
