Hi All,
In my script
times.txt has the below content:
Monday, May 16, 2016 9:08:09 AM
Friday, May 20, 2016 11:26:50 AM
$times=Get-Content c:\times.txt"
$times|Measure -Maximum
This gives the wrong max: Monday, May 16, 2016 9:08:09 AM
The dates are :
Monday, May 16, 2016 9:08:09 AM
Friday, May 20, 2016 11:26:50 AM
Please help me.
If your Times.txt is in chronological order you can use
$Times | Select -Last 1
Or
$Times[-1]
They both tell it to get the last member of the array. But again, this requires them to be in chronological order.
You will need to convert the data into a datetime first before you can get the maximum. I have included something here that does it:
$times | foreach-object{
get-date($_)
} | Measure-Object -Maximum | select-object maximum

$times contains Strings, not Date/Time objects. You need to cast them as dates first.
$times = Get-Content times.txt | ForEach { [datetime]$_ }
