Question

I want a script to list all files in folder/subfolder with a particular last access date.

I have a script to show a subfolder:

get-childitem -Recurse | Where {$_.psIsContainer -eq $true} | select {$_.Fullname}

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | ? { $_.lastaccesstime -ge [datetime]"12/18/11"} | select fullname

this give you a files’s list with lastaccesstime attribute greater or equal 18 december 2011 00.00 am.

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | ? { $_.lastaccesstime -ge [datetime]"12/01/11" -and $_.lastaccesstime -lt [datetime]"12/02/11"} | select fullname

this give all file with lastaccesstime in date december 01 2011 from 00.00am to 11.59pm

lastaccesstime is a complete reference to date and time, that’s why you need to specifies a range for a single date match.
