Splitting a string into separate variables

Question

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 t

Answer 1

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

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