I asked the Lord God AI (as I'm not a powershell user) and it came up with this:
--- 8<---
# Define an array of strings with non-version related text before the version
numbers
$versionStrings = @(
'ProductA v1.2.3',
'ProductB v1.10.0',
'ProductC v1.3.5',
'ProductD v2.0.0'
)
# Extract the version part using a regular expression and sort by the extracted
version
$sortedVersions = $versionStrings | Sort-Object {
if ($_ -match 'v([\d\.]+)$') {
[version]$matches[1]
}
}
# Display the sorted versions
$sortedVersions
--- 8<---
Don't know how right it is but if it's not right in and of itself then, maybe,
it's right enough to get you most of the way there. :)
