Iterate thru SubjectOrBodyContainsWords of an Exchange transport rule - powershell

Question

I want to create a PowerShell script to extract a text file with a list of words specified in an Exchange Server 2016 transport rule. I'm stuck with handling the obtained list.
To get the list, I do this within Exchange Management Shell:
$SubjectOrBodyContainsWords = Get-TransportRule "My rule name" | Select-Object -Property SubjectOrBodyContainsWords
I verify that the list is correct using this:
$FormatEnumerationLimit = 10000
$SubjectOrBodyContainsWords | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders | Out-String -width 10000
The output looks like (Just an example, actual list is much much bigger):
{unsubscribe, mailing, blabla}
Now I want to iterate the list to do something with each item. I tried something like this (Just a simple example):
$I = 10;
foreach ($A in $SubjectOrBodyContainsWords)
{
$I++;
$I;
$A;
}
The problem is that it doesn't loop all the items. It looks like there is only one item.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't have access to my Exchange server at the moment but just try the following suggestions. Just ask for and expand the property.
(Get-TransportRule "My rule name").SubjectOrBodyContainsWords
# Or
Get-TransportRule "My rule name" |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty SubjectOrBodyContainsWords
Since this returns an array, you need to expand that listing.
Or you can do this to turn into a list to work with...
"{unsubscribe, mailing, blabla}" -replace '\s|{|}' -split ',' | foreach {
# Code to do something with each item
$PSItem }
# Results
unsubscribe
mailing
blabla
... and
