I'm stuck with a powershell command.

I need to replace a password hash by another one.

I want to replace : *%%#%%"%'$'*,),.20.2-41"*

by : "'%(&&)$Se2EEdEEE"%%"

I'm using :

powershell -Command "(gc myfile.ini) -replace '*%%#%%"%'$'*,),.20.2-41"*', '"'%(&&)$Se2EEdEEE"%%"' | Set-Content myfile.ini"

I'm stuck with the format of the request, the quotes and double quotes in the password hash really don"t help me..

If someone got e better way to deal with hashes or a solution to get it working with Powershell, it will be really appreciated!

Double the single quotes, and use `[regex]::Escape` to escape special chars in the string automatically. Or use the `.Replace()` non-regex method on the string if the strings are fixed. – Wiktor Stribiżew Nov 23 '22 at 17:08
You can use Regex. – jdweng Nov 23 '22 at 17:49
