Hello,
I have a script to put these numbers in order
[1=mkelley@company.com](mailto:1=mkelley@company.com)
[2=jbruce@company.com](mailto:2=jbruce@company.com)
[3=oreynolds@company.com](mailto:3=oreynolds@company.com)
[4=JSTACK@company.com](mailto:4=JSTACK@company.com)
[5=Dwu@company.com](mailto:5=Dwu@company.com)
[1433=mkuss@company.com](mailto:1433=mkuss@company.com)
[1434=ayoloye@company.com](mailto:1434=ayoloye@company.com)
[1435=tonierras@company.com](mailto:1435=tonierras@company.com)
[1436=sgoldsborough@company.com](mailto:1436=sgoldsborough@company.com)
[1437=pbeavers@company.com](mailto:1437=pbeavers@company.com)
[1438=ederengowski@company.com](mailto:1438=ederengowski@company.com)
[1439=alippard@company.com](mailto:1439=alippard@company.com)
[1440=klaw@company.com](mailto:1440=klaw@company.com)
[one@company.com](mailto:one@company.com)
[three@company.com](mailto:three@company.com)
so that it looks like
[1=mkelley@company.com](mailto:1=mkelley@company.com)
[2=jbruce@company.com](mailto:2=jbruce@company.com)
[3=oreynolds@company.com](mailto:3=oreynolds@company.com)
[4=JSTACK@company.com](mailto:4=JSTACK@company.com)
[5=Dwu@company.com](mailto:5=Dwu@company.com)
[6=mkuss@company.com](mailto:6=mkuss@company.com)
[7=ayoloye@company.com](mailto:7=ayoloye@company.com)
[8=tonierras@company.com](mailto:8=tonierras@company.com)
[9=sgoldsborough@company.com](mailto:9=sgoldsborough@company.com)
[10=pbeavers@company.com](mailto:10=pbeavers@company.com)
[11=ederengowski@company.com](mailto:11=ederengowski@company.com)
[12=alippard@company.com](mailto:12=alippard@company.com)
[13=klaw@company.com](mailto:13=klaw@company.com)
[14=one@company.com](mailto:14=one@company.com)
[15=three@company.com](mailto:15=three@company.com)
The problem is that the below Set-Content appends only [15=three@company.com](mailto:15=three@company.com), and deletes the original text.
```
$INI_Location = "\\hqfs1\users\tantony\PowerShell\CalenderGroup\config.ini"
$Read_INI = Get-Content $INI_Location
For($Index=0; $Index -lt $List_of_Users.length; $Index++)
{
$Email = ($List_of_Users[$Index]) -creplace '^[^=]*=', ''
$Index_Plus_One = $Index + 1
$Re_Index = "$Index_Plus_One=$Email"
$Re_Index | Set-Content $INI_Location -Force
Write-Host $Re_Index
}
```
Thanks,
Tony

You are calling Set-Content in your loop, so the last enumerated line will be set overwriting the file. Take a look at this simplified logic:
```
$results = foreach ($line in (Get-Content "C:\Users\Rob\Desktop\Archive\config.ini")) {
"{0}={1}" -f $line.ReadCount, ($line -creplace '^[^=]*=', '')
}
$results | Set-Content "C:\Users\Rob\Desktop\Archive\config.ini"
```

I figured it out, thanks. I forgot to actually write the files before set-content

Writing powershell on less sleep, not paying attention to details 🙂
