Select-After
SYNOPSIS
Select objects after a given datetime.
SYNTAX
Select-After -InputObject <PSObject> [-After] <DateTime> [-Property <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Select-After is a simplified version of Select-Object. The premise is that you can pipe a collection of objects to this command and select objects after a given datetime, based on a property, like LastWriteTime, which is the default.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
PS C:\> Get-Childitem c:\work -file | Select-After "11/1/2020"
Directory: C:\work
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a--- 11/4/2020 11:36 AM 5008 ipperf.csv
Select all objects that have been modified after 11/1/2020. This example is using the default -Property value of LastWriteTime.
Example 2
PS C:\> Get-Process | After (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-10) -Property StartTime
