Question

Morning All,

I have a variable as follows: $machines = $user2,$name,$serial,$purchased
sample data stored in $machines is:

User1,
Laptop1,
xyz1234,
01/01/2010

I am wanting to create a new variable called $tobereplaced containing all of the records in $machines with a date greater than 4 years old from todays date.

the fuzzy logic code for this im expecting to be someting like $tobereplaced = $machines.$purchased | where {$_$purchased = -getdate > 4 years} etc etc but i cant quite figure it out.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

$fourYearsAgo = (Get-Date).AddYears(-4) 
$tobereplaced = $machines | Where-Object { (Get-Date $_[-1]) -le $fourYearsAgo }
