Using PS v3 command in PS v2 (Network Steve Forum)

Using PS v3 command in PS v2

I've got this line of code:

(Get-Content $path1 -Raw).Replace("`r`n","`n") | Set-Content $path1 -Force

and the -raw isn't recognized in v2... so my question is how can I use the above (which works get in v3) in v2?

Raw parameter in Powershell V3 ignores newline characters and returns the entire contents of a file in one string.

Similar to this, we have ReadAllText(a static method) in [System.IO.File] , which does the same thing.

So you can use

([System.IO.File]::ReadAllText("$path1")).Replace("`r`n","`n") | Set-Content $path1 -Force

in Powershell V2.

(Get-Content $path1 | Out-String).Replace("`r`n","`n") | Set-Content $path1 -Force
