powershell v2.0 - I would like to read content of txt file ends it with ( ; ) semi-colon character -


i have txt file has 50 long character in line1 but, want read first 10 11 or less character , end on semi-colon.

basically, want characters before semi-colon.

first.txt
1234567891;45416564653afsd

second.txt
124562;455466asdfa

appreciate anyone's help..

the following returns portion of each line input file file before first ;.
if there no ; entire line returned.

get-content file | foreach-object { ($psitem -split ';')[0] } 

to give sense of elasticity of powershell, can rewrite following more terse form, utilizing built-in aliases (though it's better verbose , avoid aliases in scripts):

gc file | % { ($_ -split ';')[0] }
