PowerTip: Converting a Here-String to an Array in One Line with PowerShell

Summary: Using the split method in a more powerful fashion to split an array based upon two line terminating types

Hey, Doctor Scripto. I was wondering if there was a more efficient way of converting a Here-String to an Array when there were multiple line termination options like Linefeed or Carriage Return and Linefeed?

There most definitely is. You can pass multiple parameters to the split method. This example traps both!

$HereStringSample=@’
Banana
Raspberry
‘@

$HereStringSample.Split(@(“$([char][byte]10)”, “$([char][byte]10)”,”$([char][byte]13)”, [StringSplitOptions]::None))
