Examples

 

Example: 1
PS C:\> Get-ChildItem C:\temp\ps\*.ps1 -Recurse | Invoke-DbatoolsRenameHelper

Checks to see if any ps1 file in C:\temp\ps matches an old command name.
If so, then the command name within the text is updated and the resulting changes are written to disk in UTF-8.

Example: 2
PS C:\> Get-ChildItem C:\temp\ps\*.ps1 -Recurse | Invoke-DbatoolsRenameHelper -Encoding Ascii -WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the command would run. If the command would run and there were matches,
the resulting changes would be written to disk as Ascii encoded.

-EnableException

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

Alias wi
