PS v.7 Select-String -Raw parameter doesn't seem to be working-CodePudding

I am searching for the string below in a .txt log file, but it outputs extra information. I read that PSv7 solved this issue with the -Raw parameter, but I am still getting extra information. When running PSv5, I would get the path in addition to the below, but now the -Raw has eliminated the path, but kept some other information from the same line the string is on.

What I am looking for:

An error occurred stopping transcription

What I get:

<![LOG[Stop-Transcript : An error occurred stopping transcription: The host is not currently transcribing.]LOG]!><time="17:02:46.072 300" date="12-10-2021" component="RunPowerShellScript" context="" type="3" thread="8436" file="main.cpp:76">

The subset of my code:

Select-String -Path C:\somepath\log.txt -SimpleMatch "An error occurred stopping transcription" -Raw

I am try to follow up with a:

if ($errorcode -match $retrieveError) {

But, I can't match without the string matching the output.

Ugh

@AdminofThings answered below. It is:

(Select-String -Path $logfiledest -SimpleMatch $errorcode).Pattern
