I want to replace text strings in multiple VBS files.
Since nowadays the easiest way to do anything is ask the AI, I've did just that.
✅ 1. PowerShell – Easiest and Safest (recommended) - and best if you don't want to install new software (like for number 2, 4, or other options provided at the bottom of the post)
Works on any Windows system (built-in).
Replace a text string in all .vbs files inside a folder
Get-ChildItem "C:\path\to\folder" -Filter *.vbs -Recurse |
ForEach-Object {
(Get-Content $_.FullName) -replace "oldText", "newText" |
Set-Content $_.FullName
} |
Notes:
- Replace oldText and newText with your actual strings.
- Add -Recurse if files are in subfolders.
- PowerShell’s -replace supports regex.
- If your text contains special regex characters, escape them or use -creplace.
✅ 2. Notepad++ – Very user-friendly - you can find NPP in portable version, and it's a really neat text editor especially if you do VBS
a. Open Notepad++
b. Press Ctrl+Shift+F → Find in Files
c. Set:
- Find what: old text
- Replace with: new text
- Directory: your folder
- Filters: *.vbs
d. Click Replace in Files
Advantages: preview, no scripting, easy undo of individual files.
✅ 3. CMD (Batch Script) - if all else fails
If you prefer a simple batch .cmd script:
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set old=oldText
set new=newText
for %%f in (*.vbs) do (
set file=%%f
(for /f "delims=" %%l in (%%f) do (
set "line=%%l"
echo(!line:%old%=%new%!
)) > temp.txt
move /y temp.txt %%f > nul
) |
But PowerShell is much easier and cleaner.
✅ 4. VS Code – Good if you already use it
1. Open the folder in VS Code
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+H
3. Enter Find and Replace texts
4. Files to include: *.vbs
5. Click Replace All
