Question

I am querying a data source for dates. Depending on the item I am searching for, it may have more than date associated with it.

get-date ($Output | Select-Object -ExpandProperty "Date")

An example of the output looks like:

Monday, April 08, 2013 12:00:00 AM
Friday, April 08, 2011 12:00:00 AM

I would like to compare these dates and return which one is set further out into the future.

Answer 1

As Get-Date returns a DateTime object you are able to compare them directly. An example:

(get-date 2010-01-02) -lt (get-date 2010-01-01)

will return false.
