    Select-String -Path 'c:\temp\main.txt' -Pattern '(?<=name:\s+).*(?=$)' -AllMatches |
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Matches |
        Select-Object -ExpandProperty Value
    It works for the given example text.

    You might not need the -AllMatches parameter if there is only one match per line as your string example suggests. So, you could also try: 
    $pattern = "(?<=name:\s+).+$"
(get-content .\regex_test1.txt | Select-String -Pattern $pattern | Select -ExpandProperty Matches).Value

    Right. But what's defenitely unnecessary is the Get-Content in your example. You can provide a file for Select-String.  ;-)
