A date in PowerShell is a DateTime
object. If you want a date string in a particular format, you can use the built-in string formatting.
PS C:\> $date = Get-Date
PS C:\> $date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
2014-04-02
You can also use the string format (-f
) operator:
PS C:\> "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}" -f $date
2014-04-02
The LastWriteTime
property of a file is a DateTime
object also, and you can use string formatting to output a string representation of the date any way you want.
You want to do this:
Get-ChildItem -Recurse \\path\ -filter *.pdf | Select-Object LastWriteTime,Directory
You can use a calculated property:
Get-ChildItem C:\Users\Administrator\Documents -filter *.pdf -Recurse |
Select-Object Directory, Name, @{Name="LastWriteTime";
Expression={$_.LastWriteTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm")}}
Run
help Select-Object -Full
and read about calculated properties for more information.
