I am a PowerShell newbie.... I have been struggling on how to get a date value from a website.
I need to get a date from a certain file on a webpage. The webpage is in index format so looks lie this:
8/23/2014 12:00 AM 422508 file120.abc
8/23/2014 12:00 AM 440964 file121.abc
8/23/2014 12:00 AM 332636 file122.abc
...
11/26/2017 2:30 PM 3823 thefile.ini
...
11/25/2017 1:01 AM 88044 file309.abc
I need to find the line that contains 'thefile.ini' and get the date (11/26/2017) from it
When I look at the view source on the page I see
<br>11/26/2017 2:30 PM 3823 <A HREF="/folder/thefile.ini"
