    You will have to parse the string and change it to what you need.

    You can start with removing the opening

    ($number -replace '^+45|45') -replace ' '

    Now you are left with the remaing 8 digits so split them and add it all back together:

    '+45 {0} {1}' -f $first4,$last4

    Some of those numbers have space(s) separating the two four-digit groups. Here's another way to accomplish the reformatting:

    $x = $number -replace '(?:\+?45)?\s?(\d{4})\s?(\d{4})', '+45 $1 $2'
    The first group "(?:\+45|45)?" is non-capturing, and optional. All the spaces (\s?) are also optional.
