Parsing Scheduled task : Interval Element back to Time Span object type value

PowerShell Help
1

Can’t figure this one out.

Goal, Read the value of the scheduled task, the one that sync groups policy and project at what time the task will run every day by reading the task triggers.
$TaskGpUpdateComp = get-scheduledtask -Taskpath "\Microsoft\Windows\GroupPolicy" -TaskName “{3E0A038B-D834-4930-9981-E89C9BFF83AA}” | select -ExpandProperty Triggers

$StartTime = [DateTime]::Parse($TaskGpUpdateComp.StartBoundary)

My problem is I can’t figure out how to take the Repetition.Interval value which is in this format : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/taskschedulerschema-interval-repetitiontype-element and

PS C:\windows\system32> $TaskGpUpdateComp.Repetition.Interval
PT1H46M

convert back in a powershell time-span object.

I have tried :
[System.TimeSpan]::Parse($TaskGpUpdateComp.Repetition.Interval)

[System.TimeSpan]::ParseExact(“$TaskGpUpdateComp.Repetition.Interval”, no idea what parse string would look like )

Other option could be extra hour, minutes from the string with a regex match ?

Any tips ?

This forum has a function to parse the interval:

ok thanks I had a look at link and decide it was too complex for me so did something at my skill level used a regex match here is final code, its reads the 1st run time for GPO Scheduled task then project into the future at what time the task should run.

$TaskGpUpdateComp = get-scheduledtask -Taskpath "\Microsoft\Windows\GroupPolicy" -TaskName “{3E0A038B-D834-4930-9981-E89C9BFF83AA}” | select -ExpandProperty Triggers

# 1st event the GPO ran at
$StartTime = [DateTime]::Parse($TaskGpUpdateComp.StartBoundary)

# Convert Repetition Interval to timespan
($TaskGpUpdateComp.Repetition.Interval | out-string) -match ‘PT(?<hour>\d)H(?<Minutes>\d\d)M’
if ($matches) { $TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Hours $Matches.hour -Minutes $Matches.minutes}

#Project the time at which GPO update computer will run.
$count = 0
do {
if ($count -eq 0) {$nextProcessing = $StartTime; write-host “GPO processing at $nextProcessing” }

$nextProcessing += ($TimeSpan)
write-host “GPO processing at $nextProcessing”
$count++
}

until ( $nextProcessing -ge $(get-date) )

the output from my PC
