portion of powershell variable value to display

Question

I have a variable whose value is "Big Apple" and that is what I am displaying on my form. I want to keep the variable value as it is but like to display just "Apple" from it. I do not want to use SubString. Just through loop somehow or any other way. Is it possible? How to do it?

$result.content = "Big Apple"
foreach($number in $result.content)
{
    $result.content "Apple"  //for display
}

Split()? If you know the format of the content (e.g. always two strings) and which part you want (e.g. second string), then you could do something like this: $result.content.split()[1] — boxdog

$result.content.split()[1]

If you are not sure how many parts there are in the string, but always want the last one, do this:

$result.content.split()[-1]
