Select-String regex for multiple strings

Question

I am trying to extract last entry from an curl output to only show me the plugin-name and version. Unfortunately miserably failing with my command. Here is the command being used at my end

curl --silent https://jenkins-updates.cloudbees.com/download/plugins/blueocean-github-pipeline/ --ssl-no-revoke | findstr href |Select-String -Pattern "[0-9]/([^<]*)<" |Select-Object -last 1 | ForEach-Object { $_.Matches[0].Groups[1].Value }

Output its giving is blueocean-github-pipeline.hpi">1.25.3

I wish to display only the following blueocean-github-pipeline 1.25.3

and remove "> with a tab in between

How should I go about it?

Thanks in advance

You can use

... | Select-String -Pattern '\d/([^>]*)\.\w+">([^<]*)<' | `
Select-Object -last 1 | `
ForEach-Object { $_.Matches[0].Groups[1].Value + " " + $_.Matches[0].Groups[2].Value }

Output:

blueocean-github-pipeline 1.25.2

See the regex demo.

Details:

• \d/ - a digit and a / char
• ([^>]*) - Group 1: any zero or more chars other than a > char
• \. - a dot
• \w+ - one or more word chars
• "> - a fixed string
• ([^<]*) - Group 2: any zero or more chars other than a < char
• < - a < char.

The final result is the concatenation of Group 1 + space + Group 2.
