Powershell : Extract Second line from String - powershell

Question

I wish to select the thirdline of text from a sting in powershell.
The string I have is coming from the body of an email:
$olFolderInbox = 6
$outlook = new-object -com outlook.application;
$ns = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI");
$inbox = $ns.GetDefaultFolder($olFolderInbox)
foreach ($email in $inbox.items){
if($email.Subject -eq "PASSED") {
$Body = $email.Body
write-host $emailSentOn
write-host $email.Body
}
}
The $Body string is formatted like so:
<BLANK LINE>
Queue Cleared!
Server Name
Username
I wish to exact the Server name from the 4 line text string.
Thanks

Answer 1

Assuming the format is consistent
if ($Body[2] -match '(?m:^Server (?<server>\w+))' ) {
# do something with $matches.server
}

Answer 2

Using a multi-line regex:
$body = #"
Queue Cleared!
Server Name
Username
"#
#$regex = '(?ms).+?$(.+)?$.+?$.+' #Capture second line.
$regex = '(?ms).+?$.+?$(.+)?$.+' #Capture third line.
$body -replace $regex,'$1'
Server Name
Each .+?$ represents one line of the body. The third line is captured and used for the -replace operation.
The title doesn't quite match the descripion in the post (second line vs third line) so I've included both.

Answer 3

You can split a string using the -split operator:
$foo -split "`n"
You'll get an array back. You can then get an element from that array using indexing:
($foo -split "`r?`n")[2]

Answer 4

This will send only the 3rd item of the array (server name) to the Body. The count starts at zero, so that's why [2] = 3rd.
$Body[2] = $email.Body
Body result
Server Name
