I have a string that has email addresses separated by semi-colon:
$address = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]"
How can I split this into an array of strings that would result as the following?
[string[]]$recipients = "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"
As of PowerShell 2, simple:
$recipients = $addresses -split "; "
Note that the right hand side is actually a case-insensitive regular expression, not a simple match. Use csplit to force case-sensitivity. See about_Split for more details.
[string[]]$recipients = $address.Split('; ',[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)
Remove the spaces from the original string and split on semicolon
$address = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]"
$addresses = $address.replace(' ','').split(';')
Or all in one line:
$addresses = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]".replace(' ','').split(';')
$addresses becomes:
@('[email protected]','[email protected]','[email protected]')
