Consider the following arbitrary example:

"Camel Cow Travel Show" -replace 'el (C|Sh)', 'El $1'

I would like to repeat $1 say 10 number of times. So I attempted
"Camel Cow Travel Show" -replace 'el (C|Sh)' 'El $1 * 10'



This fails. I suppose because of the quoting. But I am unable to figure
out how to do this. Please help

Thanks

Hi Abhishek,


Like that?

"Camel Cow Travel Show" -replace 'el (C|Sh)', "El $('$1'*10)"
