Alternative to Get-Content

Question

I currently have the following line of code.

(Get-Content \'file.txt\') |
  ForEach-Object {$_ -replace \'\"\', \'\'} |
  Set-Content \'file.txt\'
         


        

Answer 1

This should be faster than line-by-line processing, and still keep your memory consumption under control:

Get-content 'file.txt' -ReadCount 5000 |
 foreach-object {$_ -replace '"', '' | 
 add-content 'newfile.txt' }
