PowerShell -match operator and multiple groups

Question

I have the following log entry that I am processing in PowerShell I\'m trying to extract all the activity names and durations using the -match operator but I am onl

Answer 1

The -match operator is meant to be used just once; it doesn't do a global match on the input. Keith Hill put a suggestion for a -matchall operator on Microsoft connect here.

I'll suggest another way to do it. If the log entry is in a file, you can use the switch statement to accomplish the same thing:

switch -regex -file .\log.txt { $entryRegex { $matches[1] + ", " + $matches[2] } }

This is the output I get with this statement if $entryRegex has the regular expression you defined:

Get Client Model, 0
Parse Expression, 0
Get Abstract Query, 0
Compile Query, 0
Execute Query, 63695
Get Query Plan Complexity, 0
