split works much different than expected

Hi,

I am trying to get the error codes from a file but split seems to work much
different than I expect. ie, my file error_log contains:

cmd.exe exited on testserver with error code 1603.

when I try to do a split ie.

$testerr = get-content error_log | where($_ -match "error code"}
if ($testerr){
($one,$two)=$testerr.split("error code")
"one: $one, two: $two"
}

I get really strange output, like:

one: ps, two: x . x : .......

Can someone help with split?

Thanks,
