title: How to split a string in PowerShell
body: <p>This seems like it should be fairly simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a string that looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$string = "blah blah; something"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All I want to do is break them apart at the semicolon and space, but whenever I try to do it using <code>$string.split("; ")</code> it also breaks apart the first half of the string because of the space. I'm assuming that I probably need to use Regex, but don't have a good grasp of that in order to get it done.</p>
