Extract Key Value from string - regex

Question

I have the following code:
$myString = "Name=Tony;Fee=10;Account=Premium"
$splitString = "$($myString)".Split(";")
$name = $splitString -match "Name=(?<content>.*)"
$acct = $splitString -match "Account=(?<content>.*)"
$name
$acct
Result:
Name=Tony
Account=Premium
How can I get it to return just the value? Example:
Tony
Premium
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Combine -split, the string splitting operator, with a switch statement and its -Regex switch:
$name, $acct =
switch -Regex ("Name=Tony;Fee=10;Account=Premium" -split ';') {
'^(?:Name|Account)=(?<content>.*)' { $Matches['content'] }
}

Answer 2

Here's another approach using -Split and taking advantage of the text's format using ConvertFrom-StringData
$name, $acct = "Name=Tony;Fee=10;Account=Premium" -split ';' |
ConvertFrom-StringData | ForEach-Object {$_.name,$_.Account}

Answer 3

I would use -split here to to construct a hashtable of key value pairs:
$myString = "Name=Tony;Fee=10;Account=Premium"
# Create hashtable
$ht = #{}
# Spit string by ';' and loop over each item
foreach ($item in $myString -split ';') {
# Split item by '=' to get key value pair
$pair = $item -split '='
# Set key value pair into hashtable
$ht[$pair[0]] = $pair[1]
}
# Output values you want
$ht.Name
$ht.Account
# Tony
# Premium
Which also is beneficial if you need to lookup other values.
