Can't parse valid RegEx PoSh Function

Hi,

The following function returns the error below.  Any ideas?

The function works perfectly well in PoSh 5.1 - I got it from an MS blog so it should be "good" PoSh:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/use-powershell-to-work-with-any-ini-file/

Thanks,
Phil.

```powershell
function Get-IniContent ($filePath)
{
    $ini = @{}
    switch -regex -file $FilePath
    {
        “^\[(.+)\]” # Section
        {
            $section = $matches[1]
            $ini[$section] = @{}
            $CommentCount = 0
        }
        “^(;.*)$” # Comment
        {
            $value = $matches[1]
            $CommentCount = $CommentCount + 1
            $name = “Comment” + $CommentCount
            $ini[$section][$name] = $value
        }
        “(.+?)\s*=(.*)” # Key
        {
            $name,$value = $matches[1..2]
            $ini[$section][$name] = $value
        }
    }
    return $ini
}
```
