How to get the captured groups from Select-String?

Question

I\'m trying to extract text from a set of files on Windows using the Powershell (version 4):

PS > Select-String -AllMatches -Pattern 

        

Answer 1

This worked for my situation.

Using the file: test.txt

// autogenerated by script
char VERSION[21] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST";
char NUMBER[16] = "123456789012345";

Get the NUMBER and VERSION from the file.

PS C:\> Select-String -Path test.txt -Pattern 'VERSION\[\d+\]\s=\s\"(.*)\"' | %{$_.Matches.Groups[
1].value}

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST

PS C:\> Select-String -Path test.txt -Pattern 'NUMBER\[\d+\]\s=\s\"(.*)\"' | %{$_.Matches.Groups[1
].value}

123456789012345
