I get this error when running this script:
Exception calling "Matches" with "1" argument(s): "Value cannot be

Here is the script code:
$Path = 'V:\compiler\po.htm'
[regex]$regex = "(?s)<TABLE ID=.*?</TABLE>"
$tables = $regex.matches((GC v:\compiler\test.txt -raw)).groups.value
ForEach($String in $tables){
$table = $string.split("`n")
$CurTable = #()
$CurTableName = ([regex]'TABLE ID="
([^"]*)"').matches($table[0]).groups[1].value
$CurTable += ($table[1] -replace "</B></TH><TH><B>",",") -replace "</?
(TR|TH|B)>"
$CurTable += $table[2..($table.count-2)]|ForEach{$_ -replace "</TD>
<TD>","," -replace "</?T(D|R)>"}
$CurTable | convertfrom-csv | export-csv "$CurTableName.csv" -notype
}
You probably forgot the access the entry using [1]:
$tables = $regex.matches((GC v:\compiler\test.txt -raw)).groups[1].value

I am trying to add 100 user accounts with PowerShell in my domain system in Windows. I get an error message called "You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression" when running the script for import.
Error Message:
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

I am in need of checkingh a larger number of word documents (doc & docx) for a specific text and found a great tutorial and script by the Scripting Guys;
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2012/08/01/find-all-word-documents-that-contain-a-specific-phrase/
The script reads all documents in a directory and gives the following output;
Number of times mentioned
Total word count in all documents where the specific text is found
The directory of all files containing the specific text.
This is all I need, however their code doesn't seem to actually check the headers of any document, which incidentally is where the specific text I'm looking for is located. Any tips & tricks in making the script read header text would make me very happy.
An alternative solution might be to remove the formatting so that the header text becomes part of the rest of the document? Is this possible?
Edit: Forgot to link the script:

Foreach ($doc in $docs)

$document = $application.documents.open($doc.FullName)
# Load first section of the document
$section = $doc.sections.item(1);
# Load header
$header = $section.headers.Item(1);
# Set the range to be searched to only Header
$range = $header.content
$null = $range.movestart()
$wordFound = $range.find.execute($findText,$matchCase,
$matchWholeWord,$matchWildCards,$matchSoundsLike,
$matchAllWordForms,$forward,$wrap,$Format)
if($wordFound) [script continues as above]
But this is met with the following errors:

Is this the right way to go or is it a dead end?
if you want the header text, you can try the following:
$document.content.Sections.First.Headers.Item(1).range.text
For anyone looking at this question in the future: Something isn't quite working with my code above. It seems to return a false positive and puts $wordFound = 1 regardless of the content of the document thus listing all documents found under $path.
Editing the variables within Find.Execute doesn't seem to change the outcome of $wordFound. I believe the problem might be found in my $range, as it is the only place I get errors in while going through the code step by step.

This script was working just fine today while testing. I made a few changes and started getting an error. I then went back to the very original script I got from the internet and now even it does not work. The errors are:

Can you please try Removing the Quotes from
1) LABUser assignment i.e. CN = $CN.
2) Remove the CN = from that line.
Try it one by one i hope you get your answer.
I'm having issues feeding variables into the New-MsolUser cmdlet. I'm getting the following error.
New-MsolUser : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'â?UserPrincipalName ausertest#test.ie â?UsageLocation'.
At C:\users\test\Documents\test.ps1:148 char:1

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.NewUser
The code I am using is:
$Source = "AnotherADUser"
$TargetFname = "New"
$TargetLname = "User"
$Target = "ausertest"
$TargetFullname = [string]::Concat($TargetFname ," ", $TargetLname)
$SourceEmail = (Get-ADUser $source -Property EmailAddress).EmailAddress
$SourceDomain = $SourceEmail.split("#")[1]
$TargetEmail = ([string]::Concat($Target , "#" , $SourceDomain))
New-MsolUser -DisplayName $TargetFullname –UserPrincipalName $TargetEmail –UsageLocation "IE" | Set-MsolUserLicense -AddLicenses "TESTINSTALL:EXCHANGESTANDARD"
This command works when I hardcode the details..
–UserPrincipalName and –UsageLocation use not the minus character but the
character with code 8211. Maybe it's fine but try to use the standard minus
instead, just to be sure.
