I have a string that has email addresses separated by semi-colon:
$address = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]" How can I split this into an array of strings that would result as the following?
[string[]]$recipients = "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"

The split() method splits a string into an array of substrings. The split() method returns the new array. The split() method does not change the original string. If (" ") is used as separator, the string is split between words.
Use one of the following patterns to split more than one string: Use the binary split operator (<string[]> -split <delimiter>) Enclose all the strings in parentheses. Store the strings in a variable then submit the variable to the split operator.
When you want to extract a part of a string in PowerShell we can use the Substring() method. This method allows us to specify the start and length of the substring that we want to extract from a string.
Use the Split() Function to Split a String Into Separate Variables in PowerShell. The Split() is a built-in function used to split a string in PowerShell. We can store the result of the Split() function into multiple variables.
As of PowerShell 2, simple:
$recipients = $addresses -split "; " Note that the right hand side is actually a case-insensitive regular expression, not a simple match. Use csplit to force case-sensitivity. See about_Split for more details.
