List All Matches Found in Word Doc - regex

Question

I'm able to find the first match in each document that I'm searching, but am unable to list all matches found in each document when there are multiple matches. I've tried multiple ways of iterating through the matches hash table, but can't seem to get it right. Is there a way to do this?
$RX = "(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)(?:\.|dot|\[dot\]|\[\.\])){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)"
$WordFiles = Get-ChildItem $Directory -include *.doc, *.docx -recurse
$Directory = "c:\temp"
$objWord = New-Object -Com Word.Application
foreach ($fileSearched in $WordFiles) {
$objWord.Visible = $false
$objWord.DisplayAlerts = "wdAlertsNone"
$objDocument = $objWord.Documents.Open("$fileSearched")
if ($objdocument.Content.Text -match $RX){
Foreach ($found in $_.Matches) { #| ForEach-Object {$_.Value}
$file2.WriteLine("{0},{1}",$matches[$_], $filesearched.fullname)
write-host $_.matches
write-host $_.value
write-host $found
}
}
$file2.close()
}
$objWord.Quit()

Answer 1

Powershell's -match flavor of regex will only return the first match, and as far as I know there is no way to make it find global matches.
You can however switch to using the [regex] class matches function which matches globally by default.
([regex]::matches($objdocument.Content.Text, $RX))
UPDATE
I believe you will also need to switch $_.Matches to $_.Value per examples here.

I reviewed the link provided by cchamberlain and came up with:
$CSV = "c:\temp\output.csv"
$RX = "(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)(?:\.|dot|\[dot\]|\[\.\])){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)"
$WordFiles = Get-ChildItem $Directory -include *.doc, *.docx -recurse
$Directory = "c:\temp"
$objWord = New-Object -Com Word.Application
$file2 = new-object System.IO.StreamWriter($CSV,$true) #Append or Create a new file Stream.
$file2.WriteLine('Matches,File_Path') # write header
foreach ($fileSearched in $WordFiles) {
$objWord.Visible = $false
$objWord.DisplayAlerts = "wdAlertsNone"
$objDocument = $objWord.Documents.Open("$fileSearched")
$words = ([regex]::matches($objdocument.Content.Text,$RX) | %{$_.value})
foreach ($word in $words){
$file2.WriteLine("{0},{1}",$word, $filesearched.fullname)
}
$file2.close()
$objWord.Quit()
