Hey guys,
I’m new to powershell and any of it’s machinations thus I would like to get some help with a -replace issue which I’m stuck with.
I’m trying to replace string in logs due to data security reason. What needs to be replaced is:
LogOnUsers : Companyname\UserID
I would like to replace the actual UserID with “UserID” to mask the identity of the users.
The userid always starts with a country code 2 char followed 6 char unique identifier so it is 8 char overall. I need to find this line in a large description string and replace it starting after companyname\
What I’ve tried is:
-replace “companyname\\.+?” , “UserID” // which is not good as this will only replace the line starting from the companyname\\userID with UserID and I’m left with whatever is longer then the UserID so 6 char. Can you help with a regex solution which takes it into consideration the UserID is not a fixed value but it is constant 8 char at least what might help.
Thanks in advance!
