I have a string, which I have split using the code $CreateDT.Split(" "). I now want to manipulate two separate strings in different ways. How can I separate these into two variables?

Like this?

$string = 'FirstPart SecondPart' $a,$b = $string.split(' ') $a $b

An array is created with the -split operator. Like so,

$myString="Four score and seven years ago" $arr = $myString -split ' ' $arr # Print output Four score and seven years ago 

When you need a certain item, use array index to reach it. Mind that index starts from zero. Like so,

$arr[2] # 3rd element and $arr[4] # 5th element years

It is important to note the following difference between the two techniques:

$Str="This is the<BR />source string<BR />ALL RIGHT" $Str.Split("<BR />") This is the (multiple blank lines) source string (multiple blank lines) ALL IGHT $Str -Split("<BR />") This is the source string ALL RIGHT 

From this you can see that the string.split() method:

  • performs a case sensitive split (note that "ALL RIGHT" his split on the "R" but "broken" is not split on the "r")
  • treats the string as a list of possible characters to split on

While the -split operator:

  • performs a case-insensitive comparison
  • only splits on the whole string

Try this:

$Object = 'FirstPart SecondPart' | ConvertFrom-String -PropertyNames Val1, Val2 $Object.Val1 $Object.Val2

Foreach-object operation statement:

$a,$b = 'hi.there' | foreach split . $a,$b hi there 

Incase, we want to split a string into separate characters, then we can use .ToCharArray()

$Inputstring ="Hello World" $Array =$InputString.ToCharArray() $Array 

Output:

H e l l o W o r l d
