I’ve below Config file in which there are multiple instances of user profile path (C:UsersCoreluser001.Testlab.*). This user profile path points to a default user and needs to be updated to the currently logged on user profile path (C:Users<username>.*).
PS C:> grep -i "Coreluser001" C:TempCorelConnect-Default.config

Below is the PowerShell code that fetches the currently loggedon user name and replaces the default user profile path with current user profile path globally in the .config file.
$UserName = $Env:USERNAME
$InputFile = "C:TempCorelConnect-Default.config"
$FileContent = Get-Content -path $InputFile
$FileContent[1] -match "C:\users\(w+)\*.*"
$MatchStr = $Matches[1]$FileContent | foreach {$_ -replace $MatchStr, $UserName } | Set-Content $InputFile
The contents of the file after the string replacement by script:
- No default user (Coreluser001) path
- is replaced by current user (Govardhan) path
PS C:> grep -i "Coreluser001" C:TempCorelConnect-Default.config
PS C:> grep -i "$env:username" C:TempCorelConnect-Default.config
