I have an object called $latestBlob_content, this contains logs from azure build pipeline. I want to find a specific string from this object. But when I call - $latestBlob_content | Select-String -Pattern $pattern . This returns the whole logs. Is the 3rd line right way of reading a blob file!?
$blobs = Get-AzStorageBlob -Container $container_name -Context $context | sort @{Expression = "LastModified";Descending=$true}
$latestBlob = $blobs[0]
$latestBlob_content = $latestBlob.ICloudBlob.DownloadText()
$pattern = "Terraform_modules.azure_data_lake.*"
$latestBlob_content | Select-String -Pattern $pattern
Thanks in advance
Code those are not working -
$latestBlob_content.ToString() | Select-String -Pattern "Terraform_modules.azure_data_lake.*"

Most likely, your $latestBlob_content is one string instead of an array of strings.You could check the type using $latestBlob_content.GetType().
If that is the case, you are essentially passing one string to Select-String and ask it if the string contains your pattern. It does so it returns you back the complete string.
You could try following to split up your one string into an array of strings and select only those who match your pattern
$latestBlob_content -split "`r?`n" | Select-String -Pattern $pattern
