ConvertFrom-String using a template not parsing as expected
My setup is quite the same (i5/16Gb/Win8.1 64bit/PS 5.0.10514.6).
This is a bit crazy ; only the last line is a problem.
1 - If you isolate it completely and make it the only line in the template and in the sample, it works.
Code :
$Sample = @" ALL ITEMS PASSWORD LEVEL"@$TemplateThatFails = @" {Zebraconfig*:{PasswordLevel:ALL ITEMS}} PASSWORD LEVEL "@Write-Host "Using ConvertFrom-String with the TemplateThatFails"$startTime = Get-Date$Sample | ConvertFrom-String -TemplateContent $TemplateThatFails | select -ExpandProperty ZebraConfig$endTime = Get-Date$elapsed = "{0:N2}" -f (New-TimeSpan $startTime $endTime).TotalSeconds"$elapsed seconds elapsed"Output :
PasswordLevel-------------ALL ITEMS 0,13 seconds elapsed2 - If you move it just above the previous one (in the sample and in the template), you don't get any error but the data is mixed up.
