Replace-Text

This is generated from the built in components of Otter 2024.0, and may be different than what you have installed (especially if you have extensions); go to [Gear Icon] -> Administration -> Operations within your Otter instance to see exactly what operations are available.

Searches a text file for a specified string and replaces it.

Script usage:

Replace-Text(
	[Include: <@(text)>],
	[Exclude: <@(text)>],
	[Directory: <text>],
	SearchText: <text>,
	[ReplaceWith: <text>],
	[Regex: <true/false>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with Files::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.

ReplaceWith
The text that replaces all occurrences of the search string found in matching files. If the Regex property is true, this property can replace matched group numbers as well, e.g.
Example line: Version: 0.0.0-b05f2ad
SearchText: Version: (\d+\.\d+\.\d+)(?<commitId>-\w+)?
ReplaceWith: Version: $ReleaseNumber`${commitId} (was `$1)
Example result: Version: 1.2.3-b05f2ad (was 0.0.0)

Note the backtick characters (`) used to escape the $ in the replacement text, which otherwise would be interpreted as OtterScript variables.

true/false
Regex
Determines whether the search text should be interpreted as .NET Regular Expression syntax.

Example:

# Replaces the product version in an example vdproj file with the BuildMaster release number
Create-File example.vdproj
(
	Text: >>"Product"
		{
			"ProductVersion" = "8:1.0.0"
		}>>
);

Replace-Text
(
	Include: **.vdproj,
	SearchText: '"ProductVersion" = "(?<1>[0-9]+)\:[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"',
	ReplaceWith: '"ProductVersion" = "`$1:$ReleaseNumber"',
	Regex: true
);

Log-Information `$FileContents = $FileContents(example.vdproj);  # "ProductVersion" = "8:1.2.3"
