I found this bit of code which removes the last character of a string:
$string -replace ‘.$’
However the about_comparison_operators clearly states that replace takes two parameters. There is obviously an undocumented feature where the second parameter defaults to “”?
If so, why wasnt it included in the official MS doco? Or is it documented somewhere else?
Maybe someone -replace’d it out of existence.
The about_ page is a little ambiguous, in my opinion.
The substitute argument is optional, and if left blank, will just remove the matched string.
Yep, it’s the same as having a 2nd arg as empty string or null.
PS C:\users\js> 'sosososo' -replace 's',$null oooo
A lot of the operators work on arrays as well.
PS C:\users\js> 'sosososo','sasasasa','sesesese' -replace 's' oooo aaaa eeee
