Set-StrictMode -Version Latest Function Set-IniContent { <# .Synopsis Updates existing values or adds new key-value pairs to an INI file .Description Updates specified keys to new values in all sections or certain sections. Used to add new or change existing values. To comment, uncomment or remove keys use the related functions instead. The ini source can be specified by a file or piped in by the result of Get-IniContent. The modified content is returned as a ordered dictionary hashtable and can be piped to a file with Out-IniFile. .Notes Author : Sean Seymour <seanjseymour@gmail.com> based on work by Oliver Lipkau <oliver@lipkau.net> Source : https://github.com/lipkau/PsIni http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/ea40c1ef-c856-434b-b8fb-ebd7a76e8d91 Version : 1.0.0 - 2016/08/18 - SS - Initial release #Requires -Version 2.0 .Inputs System.String System.Collections.IDictionary .Outputs System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary .Parameter FilePath Specifies the path to the input file. .Parameter InputObject Specifies the Hashtable to be modified. Enter a variable that contains the objects or type a command or expression that gets the objects. .Parameter NameValuePairs String of one or more key names and values to modify, with the name/value separated by a delimiter and the pairs separated by another delimiter . Required. .Parameter NameValueDelimiter Specify what character should be used to split the names and values specified in -NameValuePairs. Default: "=" .Parameter NameValuePairDelimiter Specify what character should be used to split the specified name-value pairs. Default: "," .Parameter Sections String of one or more sections to limit the changes to, separated by a delimiter. Default is a comma, but this can be changed with -SectionDelimiter. Surrounding section names with square brackets is not necessary but is supported. Ini keys that do not have a defined section can be modified by specifying '_' (underscore) for the section. .Parameter SectionDelimiter Specify what character should be used to split the -Sections parameter value. Default: "," .Example $ini = Set-IniContent -FilePath "C:\myinifile.ini" -Sections 'Printers' -NameValuePairs 'Name With Space=Value1,AnotherName=Value2' ----------- Description Reads in the INI File c:\myinifile.ini, adds or updates the 'Name With Space' and 'AnotherName' keys in the [Printers] section to the values specified, and saves the modified ini to $ini. .Example Set-IniContent -FilePath "C:\myinifile.ini" -Sections 'Terminals,Monitors' -NameValuePairs 'Updated=FY17Q2' | Out-IniFile "C:\myinifile.ini" -Force ----------- Description Reads in the INI File c:\myinifile.ini and adds or updates the 'Updated' key in the [Terminals] and [Monitors] sections to the value specified. The ini is then piped to Out-IniFile to write the INI File to c:\myinifile.ini. If the file is already present it will be overwritten. .Example Get-IniContent "C:\myinifile.ini" | Set-IniContent -NameValuePairs 'Headers=True,Update=False' | Out-IniFile "C:\myinifile.ini" -Force ----------- Description Reads in the INI File c:\myinifile.ini using Get-IniContent, which is then piped to Set-IniContent to add or update the 'Headers' and 'Update' keys in all sections to the specified values. The ini is then piped to Out-IniFile to write the INI File to c:\myinifile.ini. If the file is already present it will be overwritten. .Example Get-IniContent "C:\myinifile.ini" | Set-IniContent -NameValuePairs 'Updated=FY17Q2' -Sections '_' | Out-IniFile "C:\myinifile.ini" -Force ----------- Description Reads in the INI File c:\myinifile.ini using Get-IniContent, which is then piped to Set-IniContent to add or update the 'Updated' key that is orphaned, i.e. not specifically in a section. The ini is then piped to Out-IniFile to write the INI File to c:\myinifile.ini. .Link Get-IniContent Out-IniFile #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "File")] [OutputType( [System.Collections.IDictionary] )] Param ( [Parameter(ParameterSetName="File",Mandatory=$True,Position=0)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [String]$FilePath, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="Object",Mandatory=$True,ValueFromPipeline=$True)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [System.Collections.IDictionary]$InputObject, [Parameter(ParameterSetName="File",Mandatory=$True)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName="Object",Mandatory=$True)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [String]$NameValuePairs, [char]$NameValueDelimiter = '=', [char]$NameValuePairDelimiter = ',', [char]$SectionDelimiter = ',', [Parameter(ParameterSetName="File")] [Parameter(ParameterSetName="Object")] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [String]$Sections ) Begin { Write-Debug "PsBoundParameters:" $PSBoundParameters.GetEnumerator() | ForEach { Write-Debug $_ } if ($PSBoundParameters['Debug']) { $DebugPreference = 'Continue' } Write-Debug "DebugPreference: $DebugPreference" Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Function started" # Update or add the name/value pairs to the section.
