select part of the line from text file in powershell

Im trying to select part of the line from text file

i used select-string -pattern "IM1" to filter out but the outcome is like this :

19.la1:288:IM1=144_-_1.3.jpg;

i just want the outcome to be from = to ; so only 144_-_1.3.jpg would appear

jpg files would have different names and lengths

You can split the line on the equel sign, get the last element (-1), and trim the semicolon:

PS> $line.Split('=')[-1].Trim(';')
144_-_1.3.jpg

You could use a regular expression:

$line='19.la1:288:IM1=144_-_1.3.jpg'
$regex = [regex]'={1}(.*\.jpg)'
$regex.Match($line).Groups[1].Value
