Powershell Tip #2: Convert Datetime String

Tip: Convert String <> Datetime

Datetime > String

# Solution 1
$datetimeToString = '{0:MM/dd/yy}' -f (Get-Date '07/15/2015')

# Solution 2
$datetimeToString = (Get-Date '07/15/2015').ToShortDateString()

# Solution 1

$datetimeToString = '{0:MM/dd/yy}' -f (Get-Date '07/15/2015')

# Solution 2

$datetimeToString = (Get-Date '07/15/2015').ToShortDateString()

String > Datetime

# Solution 1
$stringToDatetime1 = '07/15/2015' | Get-Date
$stringToDatetime = '07-15-2015' | Get-Date

# Solution 2
$stringToDatetime2 = [Datetime]::ParseExact('07/15/2015', 'MM/dd/yyyy', $null)

# Solution 3
$stringToDatetime3 = [Datetime]'7/15/2015'

# Solution 1

$stringToDatetime1 = '07/15/2015' | Get-Date

$stringToDatetime = '07-15-2015' | Get-Date

# Solution 2

$stringToDatetime2 = [Datetime]::ParseExact('07/15/2015', 'MM/dd/yyyy', $null)

# Solution 3

$stringToDatetime3 = [Datetime]'7/15/2015'
