I was testing out the PowerShell cmdlets that ship with Backup and Replication from Veeam Software<\/a>. I was using the cmdlet to return backup jobs and realized I needed a way to only get those objects where the date was today. Because the property was a complete date time object, I couldn't simply check if A -eq B. I needed something else.<\/p>\n

I initially thought I could simply check the DayOftheYear property.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> $d=Get-Date
\nPS C:\\> $d.DayOfYear
\n350
\nPS C:\\> $d.DayOfYear -eq $now.DayOfYear
\nTrue
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

But, if the two dates were exactly one year apart, I would get a false positive. Then I thought I would be clever and add the day of year to the year. Kinda like creating a hash. <\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> $yesterday.DayOfYear+$yesterday.year -eq $now.DayOfYear+$now.year
\nFalse
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

However, as someone pointed out to me this logic is flawed.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> [datetime]$a=\"1\/1\/2011\"
\nPS C:\\> [datetime]$b=\"1\/2\/2010\"
\nPS C:\\> $a.DayOfYear+$a.year -eq $b.DayOfYear+$b.year
\nTrue
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Oops. There probably is a hash I could create but perhaps the better answer is to simply compare the two DateTime objects. For that we can use the Compare-Object cmdlet, which has an alias of diff.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> diff $d $now<\/p>\n

InputObject SideIndicator
\n----------- -------------
\n12\/16\/2011 12:32:14 PM =>
\n12\/16\/2011 12:26:51 PM <=\n<\/code><\/p>\n

As you can see $d and $now are both the same day. But Compare-Object is finding differences. What I can so is instruct the cmdlet to limit its comparison to specific properties.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> diff $d $now -Property DayOfYear,Year
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Nothing is returned so I can assume the two are identical. Let's check two that are different.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> diff $a $b -Property DayOfYear,Year<\/p>\n

DayOfYear Year SideIndicator
\n --------- ---- -------------
\n 2 2010 =>
\n 1 2011 <=\n\n\nPS C:\\> diff $yesterday $now -Property DayOfYear,Year<\/p>\n

DayOfYear Year SideIndicator
\n --------- ---- -------------
\n 350 2011 =>
\n 349 2011 <=\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Differences are found so these objects are different. I can take this and turn it into a logic construct.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> if (diff $yesterday $now -Property DayOfYear,Year) {$False} else {$True}
\nFalse
\nPS C:\\> if (diff $d $now -Property DayOfYear,Year) {$False} else {$True}
\nTrue
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

This seems to get the job done. But since that is a lot to type, and I might want to use this logic again, I'll turn it into a function.<\/p>\n


\nFunction Test-IsToday {<\/p>\n

Param(
\n[Parameter(Position=0,Mandatory=$True,HelpMessage=\"Enter a date time value to compare\")]
\n[ValidateNotNullorEmpty()]
\n[datetime]$Date
\n)<\/p>\n

$now=Get-Date
\nWrite-Verbose (\"Comparing {0} to right now {1}\" -f $Date,$Now)<\/p>\n

if (Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $Date -DifferenceObject $Now -property dayofyear,year) {
\n $False
\n }
\nelse {
\n $True
\n }<\/p>\n

} #End function
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

The function simply wraps up the Compare-Object command and makes it easier for me to pass dates.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> test-istoday $now
\nTrue
\nPS C:\\> test-istoday $d -verbose
\nVERBOSE: Comparing 12\/16\/2011 12:26:51 PM to right now 12\/16\/2011 12:43:25 PM
\nTrue
\nPS C:\\> test-istoday $yesterday
\nFalse
\nPS C:\\> test-istoday \"12\/25\/2011\"
\nFalse
\nPS C:\\>
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

So far I haven't found a case where this won't work correctly. But if there is, most likely all I'll need to do is add another property comparison with Compare-Object.<\/p>\n
