Remove Multi-Line String from File with PowerShell

hello

attempting remove string file using powershell. string file.

code can read file not remove string other file. whats going wrong , how can fix it?

$inputfile          = ".\usermenutest1.4d"
$outputfile         = ".\usermenutest2.4d"
$destinationfile     =  "$outputfile.new"
# read input file variable
$target  = [io.file]::readalltext($inputfile)
# replace target in output file
(get-content $outputfile) | foreach-object {
    $_ -replace $target, ''    
} | set-content $destinationfile

here proposal:

cd <yourpath> $original = (get-content ".\usermenutest2.4d") $pattern = '(' + $((get-content ".\usermenutest1.4d") -join '|') + ')'  $original | foreach-object {     $_ -replace $pattern} >> <youroutputfile> 

hope works in test run,
