Powershell remove text after first instance of special character
93,233
Solution 1
$s = '8.2.4.151.65; HBAAPI(I) v1.3; 3-29-02'
$s.Substring(0, $s.IndexOf(';'))
Solution 2
Split on the ;
and take the first string.
'8.2.4.151.65; HBAAPI(I) v1.3; 3-29-02'.split(';')[0]
Solution 3
Using a regex with a lazy match:
'8.2.4.151.65; HBAAPI(I) v1.3; 3-29-02' -replace '(.+?);.+','$1'
8.2.4.151.65
The ? makes the match 'lazy', so it stop at the first ;

This is the value that I have to parse.
8.2.4.151.65; HBAAPI(I) v1.3; 3-29-02
I need to remove everything after and including the first instance of
;
So I need my ending result to be
8.2.4.151.65
