This resource is intended to be used to set key/value pair values in configuration or data files where no partitions or headings are used to separate entries and each line contains only a single entry. This resource should not be used to configure INI files. The [IniSettingFile](IniSettingFile.md) resource should be used instead. .PARAMETER Path Key - String The path to the key value pair text file. .PARAMETER Name Key - String The name of the key. .PARAMETER Ensure Write - String Allowed values: Present, Absent Specifies the if the key value pair with the specified key should exist in the file. .PARAMETER Type Write - String Allowed values: Text, Secret Specifies the value type to use as the replacement string. Defaults to 'Text'. .PARAMETER Text Write - String The text to replace the value with in the identified key. Only used when Type is set to 'Text'. .PARAMETER Secret write - String The secret text to replace the value with in the identified key. Only used when Type is set to 'Secret'. .PARAMETER IgnoreNameCase Write - Boolean Ignore the case of the name of the key. Defaults to $False. .PARAMETER IgnoreValueCase Write - Boolean Ignore the case of any text or secret when determining if it they need to be updated.

Configuration KeyValuePairFile_RemovePlainTextPair_Config { Import-DSCResource -ModuleName FileContentDsc Node localhost { KeyValuePairFile RemoveCoreLogging { Path = 'c:\myapp\myapp.conf' Name = 'Core.Logging' Ensure = 'Absent' } } } .EXAMPLE 2 Set all `Core.Logging` keys to `Information` or add it if it is missing in the file `c:\myapp\myapp.conf`. Configuration KeyValuePairFile_SetPlainTextPair_Config { Import-DSCResource -ModuleName FileContentDsc Node localhost { KeyValuePairFile SetCoreLogging { Path = 'c:\myapp\myapp.conf' Name = 'Core.Logging' Ensure = 'Present' Text = 'Information' } } } .EXAMPLE 3 Set all `Core.Password` keys to the password provided in the $Secret credential object or add it if it is missing in the file `c:\myapp\myapp.conf`. Configuration KeyValuePairFile_SetSecretTextPair_Config { param ( [Parameter()] [ValidateNotNullorEmpty()] [PSCredential] $Secret ) Import-DSCResource -ModuleName FileContentDsc Node localhost { KeyValuePairFile SetCorePassword { Path = 'c:\myapp\myapp.conf' Name = 'Core.Password' Ensure = 'Present' Type = 'Secret' Secret = $Secret } } } |
