remove string in script sql

$sql -replace  'DROP TRIGGER \[dbo\].\[MSmerge\*\]', ''


send your sample .sql file

Guess this is a continuation from https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28960354/script-smo-triggers.html ?
You want to remove the complete line, I assume. What about the create statement certainly following the drop?

Yes, I always try without result
$DIRECTORY="c:\temp"
$script=$DIRECTORY + "\" + ".Drop.Triggers.sql"
$Sql = [IO.File]::ReadAllText($script)
$Sql -replace '(?s)drop trigger \[MSmerge_.*?\r\nGO' -replace '(?s) \[MSmerge_.*?\r' , '' | Out-File $script
Thanks

I didn't get your last response. You didn't answer to my questions at all. I think you want to remove all lines written out below:

IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.triggers WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MSmerge_del*]'))
DROP TRIGGER [dbo].[MSmerge*]
GO
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[MSmerge*] /* and further text here */
/* ... */
GO

Select allOpen in new window

where the "*" means text parts to ignore when searching. Correct?

yes thanks regards

Following, T-SQL code :

IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.triggers WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MSmerge_del_2DF5CAAAAF3D4CB0B6497DE4645ABC11]'))
DROP TRIGGER [dbo].[MSmerge_del_2DF5CAAAAF3D4CB0B6497DE4645ABC11]
GO
IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.triggers WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MSmerge_ins_2DF5CAAAAF3D4CB0B6497DE4645ABC11]'))
DROP TRIGGER [dbo].[MSmerge_ins_2DF5CAAAAF3D4CB0B6497DE4645ABC11]
GO
IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.triggers WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MSmerge_upd_2DF5CAAAAF3D4CB0B6497DE4645ABC11]'))
DROP TRIGGER [dbo].[MSmerge_upd_2DF5CAAAAF3D4CB0B6497DE4645ABC11]

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks

Thanks regards
