Get-Content -path $str | foreach {$_ -replace ............

i've been playing these few lines of script while no success.

i believe issue in syntax of directory paths trying replace. can point me in right direction.

script @ bottom self explanatory in case - want able change directory path of default queue database in exchange 2010. script reads line line content of config file looking $current , should replace $new.

any appreciated.

$exchangeinstallpath = "d:\sw\exch14\"

$file = $exchangeinstallpath+"bin\edgetransport.exe.config"
foreach ($str in $file)
{
$content = get-content -path $str
$current = 'd:\sw\exch14\transportroles\data\queue'
$new = 'e:\exch14\transportroles\queue\database'
$content | foreach {$_ -replace "$current", "$new"} | set-content $str
}

the test pattern in -replace regular expression. characters in regex reserved, , need escaped if want them used literally.  fortunately there's easy way this:

$content | foreach {$_ -replace [regex]::escape($current), $new} | set-content $str

will create regular expression $current reserved characters escaped you.
