(get-childitem . -recurse -force -include “Root”) |
foreach-object -process
{get-content $_ |
select-string -pattern 2001 |
foreach-object {$_ -replace “2001″, “2003″} |
set-content $_
}

The intent is to search the folders recursively to
find files named “Root”. For each found file,
get the single line out and replace the occurence
of the string “2001″ with “2003″.
Finally, write out the content back to the same file.

An example (Example 3) of a similar operation is given
in “get-help set-content -detailed”.

Instead, I get “… because it is being used by another process …”.

Is there a better way?

Cheers!
