modify multiple html files with Powershell

Question

I need to modify over a thousand html files in a certain directory. I need to remove all the content and replace it with the html below. What would be the best way of doing this?

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>

</html>

If all you need to do is overwrite the contents of the files, just copy that HTML into a file in a different directory (for example, into ..\template.html), and then execute

for %d in (*.html) do copy /Y ..\template.html %d

in the directory in which all of the files you need to overwrite are.

You don't even need Powershell to simply overwrite a group of files with exactly the same content.
