Powershell Command for retrieving the second pattern values - powershell

Question

I am facing problem while using multiple patterns to retrieve the values from the second pattern.
The file contains data like below
Explore/CommonServices/AlertService.Folder
Explore/CommonServices/CIHLogger.Folder
What I am trying to do is find the text between two forward slashes i.e CommonServices and find the text between one forward slash and the dot i.e AlertService
I am able to find them using the patterns '/(.+)/' and '/([^/]+)\.' respectively. Now the challenge is how to get them into a single line
My Command is
((get-content "test2.txt") | Select-String -pattern '/(.+)/','/([^/]+)\.' -context 0,2 | foreach {"iics export --podHostName dm-us.informaticacloud
.com -r us -u xxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxx --artifacts " + $_ + " --zipFilePath `"C:\Users\breddy002\Documents\NJR\SVN\" + $_.Matches[0].Groups[1].Value + "\" + $($_.Matches[1].Groups[1].value)
})
I am not sure how to get the second pattern output in the second output
Powershell version is : echo $PSVersionTable
Name Value
---- -----
PSVersion 5.1.17763.771

You could do something like the following:
switch -regex -file 'text2.txt' {
'/(?<Slash>[^/]+)/(?<Dot>[^/\.]+)\.' {
$Slash = $Matches.Slash
$Dot = $Matches.Dot
"First: {0}, Second: {1}" -f $Slash,$Dot
}
}
Explanation:
The switch statement is a robust if statement. With the -regex and -file parameters, you can efficiently read in each line of a file and apply regex pattern matches. Each successful match is stored in the automatic variable $Matches.
The regex pattern /(?<Slash>[^/]+)/(?<Dot>[^/\.]+)\. matches as follows:
/ is a literal match of /
(?<Slash>[^/]+) matches one or more (+) characters that are not / ([^/]). That match is stored as capture group Slash (using syntax (?<Slash>)). It can later be accessed by using the syntax $Matches.Slash.
(?<Dot>[^/\.]+) matches one or more characters that are not / and . ([^/\.]+). That match is stored as capture group Dot. It can later be accessed by using the syntax $Matches.Dot.
\. is a literal . match, which requires escaping with backslash.
