I'm trying to get files between a date range in windows power shell but it's getting all the files instead of just the ones in range.
Here's my commands:
[datetime]$start = '2018-04-01 00:00:00'
[datetime]$end = '2018-05-01 00:00:00'
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\PC- 1\Downloads" | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -gt $start -or $_.LastWriteTime -lt $end }
You'll want to use the -and
operator instead of -or
to express "start < LastWriteTime < end"
[datetime]$start = '2018-04-01 00:00:00'
[datetime]$end = '2018-05-01 00:00:00'
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\PC- 1\Downloads" |
Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -gt $start -and $_.LastWriteTime -lt $end }
