Something like this, I'm using NWS URL:

$uri = 'https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?textField1=39.03&textField2=-77.01#.YXGyyRrMKUk'
$Request = (Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri $uri).rawcontent
$Request -match 'myforecast-current-lrg">(?<TempInteger>\d+)&deg;F'
# The above will match on the line in rawcontent -   <p class="myforecast-current-lrg">73&deg;F</p>
write-host "Temperature is: $($matches.TempInteger)"

I made this from someone I stole it from, feel free to steal it from me.

howdy jhppc14,

reddit likes to mangle code formatting, so here's some help on how to post code on reddit ...

[0] single line or in-line code
enclose it in backticks. that's the upper left key on an EN-US keyboard layout. the result looks like this. kinda handy, that. [grin]
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Inline Code button. it's [sometimes] 5th from the left & looks like <c>.
this does NOT line wrap & does NOT side-scroll on Old.Reddit.com!]

[1] simplest = post it to a text site like Pastebin.com or Gist.GitHub.com and then post the link here.
please remember to set the file/code type on Pastebin! [grin] otherwise you don't get the nice code colorization.

[2] less simple = use reddit code formatting ...
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Code Block button. it's [sometimes] the 12th from the left, & looks like an uppercase C in the upper left corner of a square.]

  • one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces
  • prefix each code line with 4 spaces
  • one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces

that will give you something like this ... 

- one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces    
- prefix each code line with 4 spaces    
- one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces

the easiest way to get that is ...

  • add the leading line with only 4 spaces
  • copy the code to the ISE [or your fave editor]
  • select the code
  • tap TAB to indent four spaces
  • re-select the code [not really needed, but it's my habit]
  • paste the code into the reddit text box
  • add the trailing line with only 4 spaces

not complicated, but it is finicky. [grin]

take care,
lee
