I have a txt file with following content:
testdemo | 5 | 4563456| OMNI | retailomni
testRetail | 142 | 3453456345| testRetai111l | test
testtesttest | 44 | 4564356| apl | APL
I need to select whole string, that starts from "testdemo". How this can be done in PS?
$operator = "testdemo"
$operatorcontent = Get-Content operators.txt | "Need to get whole string, starts from $operator"

Get-Content operators.txt | Select-String -Pattern "testdemo"
Will select if the line contains testdemo anywhere in the line
If you want to select lines that that starts with testdemo
Get-Content operators.txt | Select-String -Pattern "^testdemo"
You can use Select-String cmdlet.
Get-Content operators.txt | Select-String -Pattern "testdemo"
