Import-Csv from string instead from a file?

You can use ConvertFrom-Csv instead:

$csv_content = $some_string | ConvertFrom-Csv -Delim ';'

Import-Csv is little more than a wrapper around Get-Content and ConvertFrom-Csv.

Even better:

$csv_content1 = ConvertFrom-CSV -delim ';' -Input @"
"col1"; "col2"
val11 ; val12
val21 ; val22
"@
