I have a string that looks like a typical AD object:

$OrigString = CN=Bob,CN=Users,DC=Office,DC=Local


So, in order to Isolate the first part of that String (Basically, I want to get 'Bob' from that string).. I do this:

$NewString = $OrigString.Split("=")[1]
$NewString = $NewString.Split(",")[0]


My question:  Is there an 'easier' way to do that?  It's not like what I'm doing is very complicated, but I was just curious...

$OrigString = "CN=Bob,CN=Users,DC=Office,DC=Local"
$NewString = $OrigString.Split(",")[0] -replace "CN=",""

Split() using the comma's breaks each element into its natural format (CN=xxx), then using a simple -replace on the one string within the Split() array completes this task without creating multiple objects and is very simple.

Awesome, tip, Thanks!!  I figured there was something I was missing!!
