Hello, how to get a string between commas

I'm trying to get the number in the middle of a sentences with some comma.

I have a powershell.ps1 file that contain array bellow

$Person = "Tom,Jerry,Buldog,12345,Cartoon"

I'm trying to get the 12345 only.

This is the code I tried

(Get-Content c:\powershel.ps1 | Select-Object -First 1) -replace”.*= " -replace '"' -replace '.*,'

But the result I got is just Cartoon.

Solution

  • You can get it using by split function. The first element starts with '0'.

    $Person = "Tom,Jerry,Buldog,12345,Cartoon"
$array = $Person.Split(",")
$array[3]
