Finding modified date of a file/folder

Question

I am very new to PowerShell, and I was hoping I could get some help creating a script that tells me the modified date of a file.

I wish I knew more about PowerShell,

Answer 1

To get the modified date on a single file try:

$lastModifiedDate = (Get-Item "C:\foo.tmp").LastWriteTime

To compare with another:

$dateA= $lastModifiedDate 
$dateB= (Get-Item "C:\other.tmp").LastWriteTime

if ($dateA -ge $dateB) {
  Write-Host("C:\foo.tmp was modified at the same time or after C:\other.tmp")
} else {
  Write-Host("C:\foo.tmp was modified before C:\other.tmp")
}
