Find the locale in a file name

Question

How do I get the locale in the following XML file name in PowerShell?

xx12345(de-de,xxxx.54).xml

Try to find a better solution for the past hour but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I would use a regex here unless the filename format is extremely rigid. Here's a regex to extract the culture and locale:

'xx12345(de-de,xxxx.54).xml' -match '\(([^,]+),'

The info you want is in the automatic variable $matches in capture group 1 e.g.:

$matches[1]

Outputs:

de-de
