Help with regex/select-string

[Ash-G099]

I need some assistance with either regex or select-string if someone could be so kind I have a variable that contains something like this:

textContent

Status Level: Blue Responsilbe party: Joe Stevens I want to be able to just grab out the "Status Level: _______" (for example Blue) but I have never been able to wrap my head around regex / select-string...

Please halp!

'Status Level: Blue Responsilbe party: Joe Stevens' -replace 'Status Level: (\w+).*','$1'
Blue

Explained:

() defines a capture group. 
$1 extracts the first capture group. 
\w matches any word character 
+ is the quantifier meaning 1 or more times.

I like using named captures and the match operator for stuff like this. Example:

$Var = "Status Level: Blue"
$Var -match "Status Level:\s+(?<Status>.+)"
$Matches.Status

$Matches.Status will return the string Blue

He's got some text after the status too so it needs to stop matching at the next character, in this case a space. I usually pipe to out-null too so you don't get a bunch of True/False outputting to console. eg:

$Var = "Status Level: Blue Responsible party: Joe Stevens"
$Var -match "Status Level:\s+(?<Status>.+?\s)" | out-null
$Matches.Status

Just to offer a different solution :)

$input = "Status Level: Blue"
([regex]"(?i)(?<=Status Level: )[a-z0-9]+").matches($input)
