String to Array 1

[cdtech1980]

Hi all I am new to powershell and have a beginner question. I have a variable that is storing a bunch of strings based on a Select-string command-let I use.

$results | Select-String 'port'

Results in:
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13125
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13126
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13128
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13130
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13131
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13132
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13133
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13134
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13137

How can I extract/trim only the port numbers, for example 13135 , and store them in an array so that I can use later on. I was thinking TRIMEND but that is not working. I am not familiar with all the methods of string.
Thanks in advance.

First here is how to isolate the value you want from each line.

$Line = "IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13125"
$Port = $Line.Split(":")
$Port[3]

You can get the individual lines with a ForEach like this:

$Line = "IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13125"
$Port = $Line.Split(":")
$Port[3]

ForEach ($Line in $Results)
{
$Port = $Line.Split(":")
$Port[3]
}

I hope that helps.

Mark

Mark thanks for the tip. I think I was over thinking it.


ports.txt contains
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13125
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13126
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13128
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13130
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13131
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13132
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13133
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13134
IPort : 0.0.0.0:13137

$Results = Get-Content c:\ports.txt

ForEach ($Line in $Results)
{
$Port = $line.Split(":")
$Port[3]
}
