ConvertFrom-String using a template not parsing as expected - parsing

Question

I am trying to leverage the new ConvertFrom-String commandlet in the Windows Management Production Preview 5.
I have a $Sample of the string I am trying to parse data from and the $Template that I am using.
I am getting most of the data that I am looking for but for some reason am not getting all of it.
I have read a number of blog articles about the topic and have trouble shot the parsing with ConvertFrom-String Buddy but am not able to get it to extract all of the data I need.
Can you please give me insight into what I might be doing wrong that is causing most of the data to be captured but not all of it?
Thank you in advance for any help or insight.

Answer 1

My setup is quite the same (i5/16Gb/Win8.1 64bit/PS 5.0.10514.6).
This is a bit crazy ; only the last line is a problem.
1 - If you isolate it completely and make it the only line in the template and in the sample, it works.
Code :
$Sample = #"
ALL ITEMS PASSWORD LEVEL
"#
$TemplateThatFails = #"
{Zebraconfig*:{PasswordLevel:ALL ITEMS}} PASSWORD LEVEL
"#
Write-Host "Using ConvertFrom-String with the TemplateThatFails"
$startTime = Get-Date
$Sample | ConvertFrom-String -TemplateContent $TemplateThatFails | select -ExpandProperty ZebraConfig
$endTime = Get-Date
$elapsed = "{0:N2}" -f (New-TimeSpan $startTime $endTime).TotalSeconds
"$elapsed seconds elapsed"
Output :
PasswordLevel
-------------
ALL ITEMS
0,13 seconds elapsed
2 - If you move it just above the previous one (in the sample and in the template), you don't get any error but the data is mixed up.
