How do I reverse the order of the lines in multiple files of a folder with a PowerShell script?

Question

This script, saved to a .ps1 file which I run as an admin is not working:-
$x = Get-Content -Path C:\Users\SKY\Desktop\curede*.*
$x | Out-File -FilePath C:\Users\SKY\Desktop\curede*.*

Please tell me how to reverse the order of the lines in multiple files of a folder with a PowerShell script.

Answer 1

How about this?

Get-ChildItem c:\junk\123*.txt |
    ForEach-Object{
        $x = Get-Content $_
        [Array]::Reverse($x) 
        $x |
            Out-File $_
    }

Answer 2

Are there sub-directories beneath "C:\Users\SKY\Desktop\curede\"? The Get-ChildItem, as written by you, will return not only files but also directories. If you only want files, add the "-File" parameter.

Note that the code I posted had no need for the "-File" parameter, nor does it include any error checking (e.g., what if $x contains a $null value?).
