Powershell regex missing ones with CR etc - regex

Question

I'm working on a regular expression to extract a map of key and associated string.
For some reason, it's working for lines that don't show a line split, but misses where there are line splits.
This is what I'm using:
$errorMap = [ordered]#{}
# process the lines one-by-one
switch -Regex ($fileContent -split ';') {
'InsertCodeInfo\(([\w]*), "(.*)"' { # key etc., followed by string like "Media size cassette missing"
$key,$value = ($matches[1,2])|ForEach-Object Trim
$errorMap[$key] = $value
}
}
This is an example of $fileContent:
InsertCodeInfo(pjlWarnCommunications,
"communications error");
InsertCodeInfo(pjlNormalOnline,
"Online");
InsertCodeInfo(pjlWarnOffline,
"offline");
InsertCodeInfo(pjlNormalAccessing, "Accessing"); #this is first match :(
InsertCodeInfo(pjlNormalArrive, "Normal arrive");
InsertCodeInfo(pljNormalProcessing, "Processing");
InsertCodeInfo(pjlNormalDataInBuffer, "Data in buffer");
It's returning the pairs from pjlNormalAccessing down, where it doesn't have a line split. I thought that using the semicolon to split the regex content would fix it, but it didn't help. I was formerly splitting regex content with
'\r?\n'
I thought maybe there was something going on with VSCode so I have exited and re-opened it, and re-running the script had the same result. Any idea how to get it to match every InsertCodeInfo through the semicolon line with the key-value pair?
This is using VSCode and Powershell 5.1.
Update:
Someone asked how $fileContent is created:
I call my method with the filenamepath ($FileHandler), and from/to strings/methodNames ($matchFound2 becomes $fileContent later as a method parameter):
$matchFound2 = Get-MethodContents -codePath $FileHandler -methodNameToReturn "OkStatusHandler::PopulateCodeInfo" -followingMethodName "OkStatusHandler::InsertCodeInfo"
Function Get-MethodContents{
[cmdletbinding()]
Param ( [string]$codePath, [string]$methodNameToReturn, [string]$followingMethodName)
Process
{
$contents = ""
Write-Host "In GetMethodContents method File:$codePath method:$methodNameToReturn followingMethod:$followingMethodName" -ForegroundColor Green
$contents = Get-Content $codePath -Raw #raw gives content as single string instead of a list of strings
$null = $contents -match "($methodNameToReturn[\s\S]*)$followingMethodName" #| Out-Null
return $Matches.Item(1)
}#End of Process
}#End of Function

Answer 1

You can use
InsertCodeInfo\((\w+),\s*"([^"]*)
See the online regex demo.
Details:
InsertCodeInfo\( - a literal InsertCodeInfo( text
(\w+) - Group 1: one or more word chars (letters, digits, diacritics or underscores (connector punctuation)
, - a comma
\s* - zero or more whitespaces
" - a " char
([^"]*) - Group 2: zero or more chars other than a " char.
See the regex graph:

Answer 2

This regular expression seems to be catching all lines, including ones with newline in the middle. Thanks for the suggestion #WiktorStribizew. I tweaked your suggestion, and it helped.
InsertCodeInfo\(([\w]*),[\s]*"([^"]*)
It might be the most succinct, but it's catching all lines. Feel free as always to post alternative suggestions. This is why I didn't accept my own answer.
