Wow. Gonna see if I can golf down the parsing better, because this is ugly, but string manipulation in PowerShell is a weak point anyway._{Golfed off 42 bytes by changing how the numbers are extracted from the input. Woo!}

  # Finds where the comma is
$a=-join$i[1..$x]                  # Splits the first number off, stores in $a
