In gui-help replace it can be defined as - a specified number of times. But how should i do, if i only will change the first space and not the other space in the following example ??? ${C:\powerstart.txt} -replace ' ',';' > C:\powerstart1.txt I need a real reference manual !! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Replace Definition: Returns a string in which a specified substring has been replaced with another substring a specified number of times. $a = "bxnxnx" $a = $a -replace("x","a") Regards Torben Brønsholm Denmark Hej Powershell guy.

In gui-help replace it can be defined as - a specified number of times.
But how should i do, if i only will change the first space and not the other space
in the following example ???

${C:\powerstart.txt} -replace ‘ ‘,’;’ > C:\powerstart1.txt

I need a real reference manual !!

Replace

Definition: Returns a string in which a specified substring has been replaced
with another substring a specified number of times.

$a = “bxnxnx”
$a = $a -replace(”x”,”a”)

For example, for "dispose\(\)" in the replace line I had to use "dispose()". Thanks for your multiline searching macro. It helped me.

You will probably need to use VSIP package. You can only manually manipulate the registry. But the changes take effect only after VS restart. You can use DTE.RegistryRoot property to find the correct registry key.
