What happened?

If you attempt to filter your get-pvevm command using the "-vmidorname '@tag-BLAH'" flag, it returns nothing.

The issue is that the elseif search uses $item.substring(6)... "@tag-" is only 5 characters, and so adding any character between your expected tag and the "-" will make it work again. Ex, "@tag-ABLAH" will search for all VM's with a tag of "BLAH".

*While doing other testing, I've also noticed that (at least for the API for 8.2.7), tags are separated with semi-colons instead of commas, so searching for a tag when a VM has more than one always fails.

Expected behavior

It returns something when used appropriately.

Relevant log output

PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7> get-pvevm -vmidorname '@tag-rj'
PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7> get-pvevm -vmidorname '@tag-Brj'

If you attempt to filter your get-pvevm command using the "-vmidorname '@tag-BLAH'" flag, it returns nothing. The issue is that the elseif search uses $item.substring(6)...
