I am trying to find a pattern in files. When I get a match using Select-String I do not want the entire line, I just want the part that matched.
Is there a parameter I can use to do this?
For example:
If I did
select-string .-.-. and the file contained a line with:
abc 1-2-3 abc I'd like to get a result of just 1-2-3 instead of the entire line getting returned.
I would like to know the Powershell equivalent of a grep -o

Use Select-String in a function: PS C:\> function search-help { $pshelp = "$pshome\es\about_*. txt", "$pshome\en-US\*dll-help. xml" Select-String -path $pshelp -Pattern $args[0] } This simple function uses the Select-String cmdlet to search the Windows PowerShell Help files for a particular string.
The Select-String cmdlet uses regular expression matching to search for text patterns in input strings and files. You can use Select-String similar to grep in UNIX or findstr.exe in Windows. Select-String is based on lines of text.
Select-String (our PowerShell grep) works on lines of text and by default will looks for the first match in each line and then displays the file name, line number, and the text within the matched line.
Or just:
Select-String .-.-. .\test.txt -All | Select Matches If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
