You need to change the powershell command to: Get-Content test. See the answer from Rachel: powershell -Command " gc myFile. Show 16 more comments. Usage example: fart. VonC VonC 1. The cool thing is it's one single exe. No dependencies. No small prints. Super easy to deploy. Very lightweight and easy to use, but I was hoping it would print out the exact places that replacements took place.
Not being able to see that gave me a sense of insecurity. Thanks, it's perfect, should be part of the standard dos tools and worked a charm. The -p option however doesn't show you how many changes it 'would' make and always reports 0 which threw me for a few mins — sradforth.
I understand this is a very old question but I found more information and hope it will be helpful to Stack Overflow users. I have included your link in the answer for more visibility. Show 10 more comments.

Wildcards, Regex etc? Asad, yes that's true, the OP was asking about files, but in fact it works with streams which don't have to be files. Bill how to use variable as a replacing text?

I'm not sure I have ever read any terms and conditions and been happy This is great. I love answers that don't involve downloading something else to do it. Don't really have the time to debug it right now. Once removed, this worked fine. Here is the REPL. BAT script. Full documentation is embedded within the script.
BAT version 6. The double quotes are not considered part of the argument. The quotes are required if the parameter contains a batch token delimiter like space, tab, comma, semicolon. Full support is provided for substituion patterns available to the JScript replace method. The option characters are case insensitive, and may appear in any order.
Unaltered lines are discarded. The A option is incompatible with the M option unless the S option is present. This also enables preservation of the original line terminators. If the M option is not present, then every printed line is terminated with carriage return and line feed. The name of the source environment variable is specified in the next argument after the option string.
An undefined variable is treated as an empty string. Both Search and Replace support all of the extended escape sequences if both the X and L opions are combined.
CreateObject "WScript. Item 2. Write str2 ; if str1! WriteLine str2 ; if str1! Incorporate user supplied JScript Translation facility similar to unix tr, only it also supports regex search and JScript replace Discard non-matching text Prefix output lines with line number and more As always, full documentation is embedded within the script. Great stuff! Edit - Added the A option to only print lines that have been modified. This is a slick approach, it will come in handy for several other tasks as well.
Thanks for posting it. Why don't you put it up on GitHub or as a Gist? If you need help with that, let me know. Show 9 more comments. Use FNR Use the fnr utility. Has a "Generate command line button" to create command line text to put in batch file. Multi-line patterns: The GUI allows you to easily work with multi-line patterns. In FART you'd have to manually escape line breaks.
Allows you to select text file encoding. Also has an auto detect option. Aman Aman 10 10 silver badges 16 16 bronze badges. This is nice.
Being able to generate the command line from the gui is a nice simple feature that got me going quickly. Very useful tool. Tried FART before but the documentation is out of date. Cool tool,it even supports regular expression. This is something that FART is missing.
Thanks for indicating this tool. Single exe, great replacement for FART which is no longer developed and misses regex ; and PowerShell syntax is sooo unbearable. This is most useful. Pat Ferruccio Ferruccio Use cygwin cygwin. It's the next best thing to actually installing linux.
It's better if one can provide a solution that doesn't rely on installing cygwin. Gnuwin32 and UnxUtils are stand-alone binaries built for Windows. They are not dependent on cygwin.

Nice, but not over SSH — Casebash. Windows doesn't have a command-line editor built in. You'll probably need to install the Gnu version of the editor you want to use.
Since you've already installed the ssh server, that should be no problem for you. Like OP said This will not work in a Docker container based on 'windowsservercore' — Peter Mortensen.

Hard core. Try not to make any typos, or you'll have to start over again. Well, backspace does work if you catch the mistake before you press Enter. Doesn't seem to work with psexec. Had to close the cmd window to get out. The file was unchanged. Add a comment. It is much better than that: It also works inside a Windows Docker container it is easiest to get the "Win32 console executable", e.
Thank you! Git imo is a more reasonable dependency that's likely already on the server, as opposed to WSL or other 3rd-party text editors. This is the perfect answer! Excuse me while I sob softly to myself Dennis Williamson Dennis Williamson It was finally deleted in Windows 7 at least the bit versions.
However, I won't be surprised if someone here claims it's still present in the bit version of Windows Not surprised at all. Before lookig for those "may work but are useless solutions" i thought for a Windows port of Nano. It's using cygwin. I've picket the lightest version i can, from netcologne. Thank you. As gman pointed out, if you have git installed, then you already have nano. Also, it's pretty easy to install nano via the command line by using chocolatey chocolatey. After chocolatey is installed, install nano by typing choco install nano.
The linux subsystem? Is that a thing now in W10? OK, just googled this - good idea, but installing an entire linux distro to enable a terminal editor? It's a stretch. Still might try it tho' ; — Thomas Kimber.
Having to fire up a VM solely for the purpose of editing a file isn't a good idea Use vim or nano. Of course, this requires having Chocolately installed — mic. Thanks mic, I added that link. While running edit, a screen similar to the picture below is shown. Edit is an external command available for the following Microsoft operating systems. The edit command is a legacy bit program, which is incompatible with bit operating systems. Therefore, bit versions of Windows do not come installed with, and cannot run, the edit command.
On bit Windows systems, use Notepad to edit files instead. See: Why is the edit command missing in Windows?
