excel - Powershell - add 1 to a string -

the following code:

$search.address().tostring()

currently outputs cell locations in format:

$b$5

but want add 1 becomes

$b$6

so far i've tried

$search.address().tostring()+1

but outputs

$b$51

how can add numerical value appears after second $

thanks.

you can regular expression:

c:\ps> [regex]::replace('$b$6', '(\$\w+\$)(\d+)', {param($m) $m.groups[1].value + (1 + $m.groups[2].value)}) $b$7
