Using Add-Content to add text to a certain location of a file.

01-31-2008

Hi,

I'm trying to get my script to write values to specific locations in an INI
file and i'm currently using an ini editor, but i'd rather integrate that
into the script and get rid of the INI editor. How is it possible to do that
using add-content?

For instance, i have idents like PCAssetNbr and PCModel, and this
information is gathered automatically through WMI and passed into variables.
I'd like the script to be able to add that to the end of that current ident.
For example PCModel=MODELHERE. Is this possible?

Maybe this can help:
