Powershell import-csv conditional for column - powershell

Question

I'm trying to find the best way using Powershell to modify a row in CSV based on the following condition:
IF column TEST contains a WORD,WORD
THEN do the following:
1) copy the entire row once but keep only the FIRST WORD in column TEST
2) copy the entire row again but keep only the SECOND WORD in column TEST
3) delete the original row that had WORD,WORD in column TEST
Example:
subject~school~TEST~code~year
math~PADF~true,false~0943~2016
I'd like:
subject~school~TEST~code~year
math~PADF~true~0943~2016
math~PADF~false~0943~2016
I'm no expert in Powershell, but I was playing around with using the import-csv, and then using a Get-Content Foreach-object, but it's not working. If someone knows of an easier way or the solution for the case above, that would be fantastic!
Thank You

With programming, there's generally no such thing as 'the' solution. Write what you want to do (good steps 1,2,3 in your question) and then make up some code to do that:
Import-Csv D:\data.csv -Delimiter '~' | ForEach-Object {
if ($_.TEST -match ',') # IF row.TEST contains a comma
{
$first, $second = $_.TEST.Split(',') # Get first and second words ready
$_.TEST = $first # Output the record once with
$_ # first word
$_.TEST = $second # and again with second word
$_ #
}
else
{
$_ # otherwise output it unchanged
}
} | Export-CSV out.csv -Delimiter '~' -NoTypeInformation
Not entirely sure what you mean by delete, but you could run this and Export-CSV out.csv -Delimiter '~' -NoTypeInformation and it would output to a new file without the original WORD,WORD row.
