Passing a function to Powershell’s (replace) function

by

Perhaps you are looking for Regex.Replace Method (String, MatchEvaluator). In PowerShell a script block can be used as MatchEvaluator. Inside this script block $args[0] is the current match.

$global_counter = 0
$callback = {
    $global_counter += 1
    "string-$($args[0])-" + $global_counter
}

$re = [regex]"match"
$re.Replace('zzz match match xxx', $callback)

Output:

zzz string-match-1 string-match-2 xxx
