Help extracting text from a string

Hello Powershell Gurus,

Here is my powershell question for the day. If I run the following command:

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName fs01 | Select-Object dnsserversearchorder

I get the following output (which is correct):

dnsserversearchorder
--------------------
{172.16.1.19, 172.16.1.20}

I ran the get-member on the Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration command and learned that the dnsserversearchorder property is a string. How can I extract the two IP addresses from the string?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Nick

You can use the Split function if it is a string
$string.Split(",")

Split on the comma and you will split the string into (2) IP addresses

How would I do this?

I tried the following:

$dns = Get-Wmiobject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName fs01 | Select-Object dnsserversearchorder
$dns.split(",")

I received an error stating:

Method invocation failed because [System.Object[]] doesn't contain a method named 'split'.
At :line:2 char:10
+ $dns.split <<<< (",")
