Hello All

 I hope this is an easy one to answer, I've no doubt it's extremely basic however google has been of little help. If anybody could assisst I'd appreciate it.

 Basically the code below doesn't work:

$AFile = Get-Content Results.xml foreach ($VFile in $AFile) { $VFile = "URL" } $AFile

All I'd like to do is overwrite each item in this array (currently simplified although this will be conditional in the finished script,) and then output the result. The problem is nothing updates. Am I missing a cmdlet?

Many thanks,

James

In your example, VFile is a local variable in the foreach loop, so all that is happening is that the variable is being overwritten with the "current" value in each iteration.

Its sounds like a for loop is what you're after. As an example:

$arr = @(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

for ([Int32]$i = 0; $i -lt $arr.Length; $i++)
{
    $arr[$i] = 10
}

$arr

...so in your case, that would be something like:

$lines = Get-Content -Path "Results.xml"

for ([Int32]$i = 0; $i -lt $lines.Length; $i++)
{
    $lines[$i] = "URL"
}

$lines

GWHowarth88 - Thanks for the help (again - twice in two days and it has been a real help).
