  Hi,

  Thanks for your question.

  I will give you a example about how to change value in a file.

  $replace=Read-Host "please enter something to replace white"
  ((get-content C:\test1\1108.txt -Raw) -replace 'white',$replace)| Set-Content -Path C:\test1\1108.txt

  You can use "Get-Content" and "Set-Content" cmdlets to solve your problem.

  Refer the link below:

  Maybe a csv will be good for the text file.
