OK, so I'm trying to parse a large number of text files and look for a specific string of text. For this discussion we'll say I have 50 HTML files and I'm looking for the line that says "Mexican Jumping Beans." For the vast majority of these, I
can simply use:
Select-String -Pattern "Mexican Jumping Beans"
...and get the result I want just fine.
However, some... [censored] has for some reason added extra spaces in on some of these documents:
"Mexican Jumping Beans"
"Mexican Jumping Beans "
" Mexican Jumping Beans"
Obviously, I don't care about the leading or trailing spaces, but it's the lines where there's spaces between the words that are throwing off my search.
Is there a way I can work around this...irritation?
