xcopy files created this month in PowerShell












0















I wrote this code to copy files, what I need is a way to make it copy just the files created this month or created last 31 days?



$a = "L:EndMonths"
$a +=get-date -format MMMM
xcopy "L:28*.zip" $a /I
xcopy "L:29*.zip" $a /I
xcopy "L:30*.zip" $a /I
xcopy "L:31*.zip" $a /I

          To get files from this month, use:



          $date = Get-Date -Format M-1-y


          or to get files from the last 31 days use:



          $date = (Get-Date).AddDays(-31).ToString('M-d-y')


          Then call xcopy like:



          xcopy "L:28*.zip" $a /I /D:$date
