How to split a string by delimiter in PowerShell?

Here is an example of splitting strings by a delimiter.

• First, we are setting a variable $days with values with a comma as a delimiter.
• Then, splitting the variable by defining a comma as a delimiter.

PS C:\Users\codetryout> $days = "Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat"
PS C:\Users\codetryout> $days -split ","
Sun
Mon
Tue
Wed
Thu
Fri
Sat
PS C:\Users\codetryout>

Here is another example of a split using a hyphen as the delimiter

First, setting a variable.

$CodeTryout="code-try-out"

To print that whole variable on screen:

$CodeTryout

To print it

$CodeTryout.split("-")

All together in practice:

Note: This is tested in Windows 11, Powershell version: 5.1, and we used commas and hyphens here in examples. However, any characters can be used as a delimiter.
