One effective way to edit HTML strings using PowerShell is to use the HTML Agility Pack module. This module provides an object-oriented approach to parsing and manipulating HTML documents, allowing you to easily access and modify specific elements, attributes, and values in the document.

Here is an example of how to use the HTML Agility Pack module to edit HTML strings in PowerShell:

1. Install the HTML Agility Pack module by running the following command in PowerShell as an administrator:

   Install-Package HtmlAgilityPack
   

2. Import the HTML Agility Pack module into your PowerShell script:

   Import-Module HtmlAgilityPack
   

3. Create an HTML document object from the HTML string:

   $html = New-Object HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument
   $html.LoadHtml($htmlString)
   

4. Locate the element(s) you want to edit using XPath syntax:

   $element = $html.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='my-class']")
   

5. Modify the element's attributes or inner text:

   $element.SetAttributeValue("class", "new-class")
   $element.InnerText = "New text content"
   

6. Convert the modified HTML document object back to a string:

   $modifiedHtmlString = $html.DocumentNode.OuterHtml
   

By using the HTML Agility Pack module in PowerShell, you can easily manipulate HTML strings with a few lines of code.
