The Following:

$hosts = Get-Content "C:\host.txt"

foreach ($line in $hosts)
    {
        $split1 = $line.trim("|")
        $split2 = $split1.Split("|")[1]
        Write-Output $split2 >> "C:\instance.txt"
    }

Will give an output of:

Test-1-my_instance-25ghikbbpip6

Example:

    PS C:\Windows\system32> 
$hosts = Get-Content "C:\Users\me\Desktop\test.txt"

foreach ($line in $hosts)
    {
        $split1 = $line.trim("|")
        $split2 = $split1.Split("|")[1]
        Write-Output $split2 >> C:\instance.txt
    }

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-Content C:\instance.txt
 Test-1-my_instance-25ghikbbpip6
