Get an array of captures from a regex search in PowerShell












1















Let's say I have this string:



"14 be h90 bfh4"


And I have this regex pattern:



"(w+)d"


In PowerShell, how do I get an array with the contents {"h", "bfh"}?

You want to capture one or more alphabets that are followed by a number, hence the regex for what you want to capture would be this,



[a-zA-Z]+(?=d)


And the powershell code for same will be this,



$str = "14 be h90 bfh4"

$reg = "[a-zA-Z]+(?=d)"

$spuntext = $str | Select-String $reg -AllMatches |

            ForEach-Object { $_.Matches.Value }

echo $spuntext


Disclaimer: I barely know powershell scripting language so you may have to tweak some codes.

    Multiple ways to skin a cat as demonstrated by the other answers. Yet another way would be by using the [regex] object provided by .Net



    $regex = [regex] '([a-z]+)(?=d+)'
    
$regex.Matches("14 be h90 bfh4") | Select Value
