Powershell - Regular Expression Multiple Matches

Question

Maybe my reasoning is faulty, but I can\'t get this working.

Here\'s my regex: (Device\\s#\\d(\\n.*)*?(?=\\n\\s*Device\\s#|\\Z))

Try it: http://

While it doesn't exactly answer your question, I'll offer a slightly different approach:

($getdevice)  -split '\s+(?=Device #\d)' | select -Skip 1

Just for fun,

$drives = 
($getdevice)  -split '\s+(?=Device #\d)' | 
select -Skip 1 |
foreach { $Stringdata = 
          $_.replace(' : ','=') -replace 'Device #(\d)','Device = $1' -Replace 'Device is a (\w+)','DeviceIs = $1'
          New-Object PSObject -Property  $(ConvertFrom-StringData $Stringdata)
          } 

$drives | select Device,DeviceIs,'Total Size'

Device                             DeviceIs                           Total Size                        
------                             --------                           ----------
