PowerShell RegEx Select Line and Parse the Fields - regex

Question

I've a file that contains information about the programs.
What I want is to get some information about a particular prgoram.
This the structure of the file.
sometext...program.EXE;Thu, 04 May 2017 08:58:48 -0700;Wed, 27 Sep 2017 10:50:00 -0700;Wed, 04 Oct 2017 00:00:31 -0700;True;False, 17:38:05.810;30...somtext
I was to get the following detail from the above file. each field is separated with ;
p = program.exe
dt1 = Thu, 04 May 2017 08:58:48 -0700
dt2 = Wed, 27 Sep 2017 10:50:00 -0700
dt3 = Wed, 04 Oct 2017 00:00:31 -0700
d1 = True
d2 = False
Get-Content .\file.txt
So far I have \W*((?i)program.exe(?-i))\W* to match it.
But I don't know how to move forward, read all of the fields and parse it.

I assigned each group to the variable required. See if this works. Apologize for any naivety, I'm not well versed with powershell.

Next try
$p,$dt1,$dt2,$dt3,$d1,$d2=#'
sometext...program.EXE;Thu, 04 May 2017 08:58:48 -0700;Wed, 27 Sep 2017 10:50:00 -0700;Wed, 04 Oct 2017 00:00:31 -0700;True;False, 17:38:05.810;30...somtext
'#|
Select-String '(program.exe)[^;]*(?:;([^;]+)){3}(?:;(true|false)){2},' -AllMatches|
ForEach-Object {$_.Matches}|
ForEach-Object {$_.Groups[1..3]}|
ForEach-Object {$_.Captures}|
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Value
$p,$dt1,$dt2,$dt3,$d1,$d2
Can this help you?
