Hello All
Here is a little trick I learned the other day which may be helpful to others (like any thing is PowerShell there is probably a dozen other ways to do the same thing, but this one is cool too)
Lets say you a have a string with a mix of letters and numbers but you do not know exactly the number of each or where appear in the string. Now you want to replace the first two numbers in the string with the # symbol
$String="ABB2Gt5yy45dd4t"
([regex]'\d').replace($String,'#',2)
the result of the above is
ABB#Gt#yy45dd4t
Now lets say you want to find the first set of two consecutive numbers and insert a # at the end of these two numbers and the next character (but not replace it)
([regex]'(?<=\d\d)').replace($String,'#',1)
the result of the above is
ABB2Gt5yy45#dd4t
of course there is a millions other things you can do
Hope someone else finds this particular method helpful
