Powershell - how to obtain previous lines from text file?


Try with something like this:

(( GC myfile.txt |    Select-String 'DatabaseSize = 35' -Context 3 ).context.precontext)[0]

In case of multiple match:

(GC myfile.txt | SELECT-STRING 'DATABASESIZE = 35' -Context 3 ) | % { ($_.context.precontext)[0] }
