Here's a condensed option for doing what you asked.

$Dictionary = [hashtable]::new();

# Fetch the data from the specified file and transform it to a Dictionary.
Get-Content -Path .\forums.txt | where { $_ -and $_ -notmatch "null" } | ForEach-Object { $kvp = $_.Replace(" ", "").Split(':', 2); $Dictionary.Add($kvp[0], $kvp[1]); };

# Using Write-Host to dump to the screen. Use Out-File if you prefer it goes to file.
"[Credentials]`nlanguage=EN`nendpoint=tempstock`naccessKeyID=$($Dictionary["AccessKeyId"])`naccessKeySecret=$($Dictionary["AccessKeySecret"])`nstsToken=$($Dictionary["SecurityToken"])" | Write-Host;
