He was writing a Powershell script.

The function of the script was to do a comparison of days pass since the file have been created.He stuck while creating the logic for it, and asked me to help him.

I told him, the logic is quite simple. Find the creation date of the file, get the today’s date and then minus old date with the new date.

And then I sent him the below script and told him to fill the gaps by himself.  The only trick is here to use the New-TimeSpan cmdlet , rest all is Self-explanatory

 

# Date

 

$oldDate = (get-date).AddDays(-40)

$todaysDate = Get-Date

 

#Creating

$timeDifference = New-TimeSpan -Start $oldDate -End $todaysDate

 

#The difference of Data

$timeDifference.Days

 

 

 

Or would you like to explain it for you ;o)

Happy PowerShelling..

 

With Regards.
