Is this any better? PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-childItem -Path c:\users\me\test\* | select-object lastaccesstime
There might be a way to trim the date further but I don't know it offhand... *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Rankin Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2013 4:27 AM To: [email protected] 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?
