Useful commands with Get-Date
In the previous post we saw how to convert a string to the DateTime format.
Now we want to have a string from an actual DateTime object:
$myVar = Get-Date
$temp = '{0:d2}' -f $myVar.Day + "." + '{0:d2}' -f $myVar.Month + "." + '{0:d4}' -f $myVar.Year
$temp
# output:
# 05.11.2023
$temp = (Get-Date).ToString("yyyyMMdd hh:mm:ss")
$temp
# output:
# 20240130 09:55:16
$temp = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd_hhmm"
$temp
# output:
# 20240130_0955
.AddDays, .AddHours etc.:
# yesterday:
$temp = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
# output:
# Monday, January 29, 2024 10:06:36 AM
