Question 97175 in Nginx Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Add a new line after a specific word on text file using powershell script – Nginx

Add the below line after the word "server {" in nginx.conf file.


 location /nginx-status {
 stub_status on;
 allow all;
 }

Using the script below adds a new line next to the word "server {" wherever that word occurs.

$Nginx_home = "I:Anandnginx-1.22.1"

$filePath = "$Nginx_homeconfnginx.conf"

$textToAdd1 = {
     location /nginx-status {
     stub_status on;
     allow all;
     }
}

$content = Get-Content $filePath
# Replace the specific word with the word followed by a new line character
$content = $content -replace "server {", "server {`n$textToAdd1"

# Write the updated contents back to the text file
Set-Content $filePath $content

The nginx.conf file contains more than one word "server {". But I need to find the word first and add the below lines to the next line.


 location /nginx-status {
 stub_status on;
 allow all;
 }

    Use the ForEach-Object to inspect each line as it passes through the pipeline, add the extra content after the line you’re looking for:

    $Nginx_home = "I:Anandnginx-1.22.1"

$filePath = "$Nginx_homeconfnginx.conf"

$textToAdd1 = @'
     location /nginx-status {
     stub_status on;
     allow all;
     }
'@

$content = Get-Content $filePath

$content |ForEach-Object {
  # pass line downstream
  $_
  if ($_ -match '^s*servers+{s*$'){
    # output the extra stuff if this was the line
    $textToAdd1
  }
} |Set-Content $filePath -Force

    I would use switch for this and keep track if you have already inserted the new text in order to only do that once:

    $Nginx_home = "I:Anandnginx-1.22.1"
$filePath = "$Nginx_homeconfnginx.conf"
# a Here-String for the added text
$textToAdd1 = @'
     location /nginx-status {
       stub_status on;
       allow all;
     }
'@

$added = $false
$newContent = switch -Regex -File $filePath {
    '^s*servers+{' {
        $_               # output this line
        if (!$added) {
            $textToAdd1  # output the text to insert
            $added = $true
        }
    }
    default { $_ }
}

# Write the updated contents back to the text file
$newContent | Set-Content -Path $filePath
