Actually, no it isn't. It's "pumping out" the date as a System.DateTime object,
and since you don't say otherwise, the F&O engine is taking the default output
on the object.
Prove this to yourself:
$array = get-childitem c:\users\me\test\* | select
-expandproperty lastaccesstime
$array[0] | Get-Member

Subject: [NTSysADM] PowerShell is my weakness....
I'm trying to compare the date/time stamps of two folders (including all the
included files and subfolders). So far, this seems to do the trick
get-childitem c:\users\me\test\* | select -expandproperty lastaccesstime
but the problem is it pumps out the date in a long format - how can I get it to
be a short format so I can easily compare the two?
TIA,
