Don't know whether it is me or the internet connection here, but this is third try at replying since last evening.
I had loaded a previous version of file into Excel and with some macros massaged everything into place. I had originally thought this looked like samples of hashtables I'd seen, key = value, but realize 700 keys all equal to URL wasn't going to work well. split looked perfect since it would do what Excel did, preserve the embedded spaces since they were enclosed in quotes. Since the fields are delimited by spaces, and no commas, it became apparent that Excel is not relying on the .Net framework to handle the import.
regex scares me. Yes I own the O'Reilly book and even have used regular expressions to black list blocks of IPs, but I know two weeks later I will look at it and try to guess why I did what I did.
What I want to end up with is URLs I can than try loading from another PowerShell script. I just can't figure out where the example of wait for exit is, and a file I can load into Excel to keep manager happy with all the other information SharePoint generated. That search took me to web site this morning showing Colin Byrne and Richard made a joint presentation a while ago.
One more try, I do appreciate the assistance. I am trying to keep this as simple as possible. I have been doing this way to long to want to do this all on one line.
