Powershell replace regex between two tags -



Powershell replace regex between two tags -

given block of arbitrary text enclosed specific tags, replace whole chunk else (in example, "banana")

$newvar = $oldvar -replace "<!-- url -->(*.)<!-- end -->","banana"

is there mode in ps regex not require escaping , can syntax simple accomplish replacement?

update: understand should .*, not *., still no dice. match covers multiple lines, if adds complexity regex or requires other options.

it looks me have .* in reverse (*.). apart that, try:

$newvar = $oldvar -creplace '(?s)<!-- url -->.*?<!-- end -->', 'banana' in response comments, have made .*? lazy not "overmatch" (for details on lazy vs. greedy, see reference section) also in reference comments, (?s) activates dotall mode, allowing .*? match across multiple lines.

the many degrees of regex greed
