get-childitem

I use a Powershell command to generate a CSV report of certain file types. My goal is to find out how many were added during a particular date range. Right now, the script finds everything and I sort by date to find my number. I'd like to modify the command to only return objects within a creation date rage, i.e. if this file was created between 1 March 2013 and 31 March 2013. There's probably a way to limit the command by a date range, likely using Select-Object, I just can't figure it out. Get-ChildItem 'PATH' -recurse -include @("*.tif*","*.jp2","*.pdf") | Select-Object FullName,

I can't figure out why these two parameters of the Get-ChildItem cmdlet don't work together. To make my question as clear as possible, look at the following example. From the Powershell ISE command pane: Type 'dir' --> All files and sub-folders in the current directory are displayed. Type 'dir -File' --> Original list minus sub-folders is displayed.

I have the result of Get-ChildItem , and I want to iterate over these, and display their names. By default if I simply use Write-Host then I get it listed out along the row like this: PerfLogs Program Files Program Files (x86) Python31 Temp Users Windows However, say that I know I want it split into x columns, I want the output like this instead: PerfLogs Python31 Windows Program Files Temp Program Files (x86) Users As you can see, it lists it down the columns first, and then across. Any idea how to get output like that? Ideally it would use the most # of columns as can fit on screen with the

From documentation: -Include Retrieves only the specified items. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. Enter a path element or pattern, such as "*.txt". Wildcards are permitted. The Include parameter is effective only when the command includes the Recurse parameter or the path leads to the contents of a directory, such as C:\Windows*, where the wildcard character specifies the contents of the C:\Windows directory. My first understanding was: c:\test\a.txt c:\test\b.txt So to get 'a.txt' and 'b.txt' I can write: gci -Path "c:\test\*" -Include "*.txt" And this works. But now
