Hi,
wonder if someone can point me in the right direction on this one?...
I have been using invoke-webrequest to get a complex page into a text file. Rightly or wrongly I have decided that once I have the text in a file I am more confident I can do "something" with it.
What I am trying to do is find some text in the file and put into a variable. However the bit I want will change. However the text in front of it does not. So using "select-string" I have found the text before... But I am trying to understand if I can then grab something after what I have selected?
I thought about perhaps reading the whole text into array perhaps but not sure how.. I was thinking of combining this with -split "" to get every single word in the file and then loop through it until I find the text and then use the next piece of text after it..
To explain better (not the actual example)... Say my text file contains the following -
sdsdsd rubbish ksfj ksd tubb rubbish sdjjd dsa sd dsds dasdd dsadd dasdda The result is 5
I am after 5 and have found "The result is "
