Hello,
I am using a regular expression search to match up and replace some text. The text can span multiple lines (may or may not have line breaks). Currently I have this:
$regex = "\<\?php eval.*?\>"
Get-ChildItem -exclude *.bak | Where-Object {$_.Attributes -ne "Directory"} |ForEach-Object {
$text = [string]::Join("`n", (Get-Content $_))
$text -replace $RegEx ,"REPLACED"}
