I guess that might…just found that using "$(New-TimeSpan -Start $StartDate -End $EndDate)"
Gives me a much better output format, don’t know how I stumbled on that though, probably a typo ☺ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Zvonimir Bilic Sent: 21 October 2015 13:56 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] PowerShell brain block I think you can pipe the output and use select to select Hours, Minutes, etc...
