No Skipline in Powershell?

So I'm attempting to convert one of my vbscripts to powershell in an attempt to learn. I run into a line where I am using the skipline method in vbscript.  I search for the powershell equivalent and I can't find it... anywhere... Does it exist?  Am I the only scripter on the planet that sees a need for this method when parsing text files? 

Well if you present the situation where you need to do a skip line then I'm sure we can work out a powershell way to do it. I have to be honest that I can't remember ever having used SkipLine in VBScript.

Let's say we are working with a log file that contains some text like
 
Application log file
Number of licenses in use
===============
40
 
This text will be in a log file with hundreds of lines in it and may not be at the same line every time.
A couple of consistancies  are that "Number of licenses in use" will always exist somewhere in the file and
"=================" will always be on the line below it.
 
I am interested in the line below that, which contains the number of licenses in use, "40".
 
In vbscript, I look for the "Number of licenses in use", then I use skipline to go to the line I am interested in,
which in this case would be the line which contains the string "40".
 
I then pass this value to a variable and do what I want with it.
 
Does this make sense? 

I understand. There are three ways that I would handle this in either VBScript or Powershell.
 
First if the file is really really large and I didn't want to read the entire thing into memory, I would use a flag. So as I was reading along and I saw "Number of licenses in use" I would do bGetNumber = True. For every line I would do If bGetNumber and IsNumber(strLine) Then (get the number and bGetNumber = False).
 
Second if the file is small enough to read into memory, I could use a regex to grab a number that is preceded by "Number of licenses in use" and a line of =s.
 
Third if I can read the entire file, I just slurp it all up into an array. Then whenever I see "Number of licenses in use" I know that the number I want is arrLines(index + 2).

I appreciate the help.  I'll play around with a couple of those methods.  Maybe I'll learn something new here

Text parsing in PowerShell can be done with the Select-String cmdlet.  If you'd like, post your VBScript and I'll point how to make it more PowerShell-like.
