Hi All,

I am new to powershell, please suggest.

i was using Select-String -Path | -pattern, but it only search the given value.

I am trying to search and print line if that line value is 50% and above.  
ex: Print WESTDEV have 82%,81% that line has to be printed and send email.

. Print EASTDEV  
/dev/sdb 984G 289G 695G 30% /var/lib/influxdb  
/dev/sdb 984G 286G 699G 29% /var/lib/influxdb  
. Print WESTDEV  
/dev/sde 984G 798G 187G 82% /var/lib/influxdb  
/dev/sdc 984G 793G 192G 81% /var/lib/influxdb  
. Print EASTPST  
/dev/sdd 984G 439G 545G 45% /var/lib/influxdb

Hi, welcome to the forum 👋

Firstly, when posting code, data, and errors in the forum, please can you use the preformatted text \</\> button. It really helps us with readability, and copying and pasting your code (we don’t have to faff about replacing curly quote marks to get things working).  
[How to format code on PowerShell.org](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/powershell/original/2X/b/bee50c628238f2c076c0504efb6b15f2fb11f002.gif)

To find the percentage value above 50, you will need to use a regular expression:

```auto
Select-String -Path .\data.txt -Pattern '[5-9][0-9]%|100%' | 
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Line

```
