How about 
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42842189-1">$seshlistBKID | fl endtime | Select-Object -Last 1
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
Not working : 
 
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt; $seshlistBKID | select endtime | Select-Object -Last 1 
 
EndTime &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
------- &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
10/04/2019 15:14:52 
 
it takes the old one. And it's not compare... or maybe I'm wrong 
 
Working with : $seshlistBKID | select endtime | Select-Object -first 1 
 
But I need to compare... is it possible?
</div>

<div>
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42842195-1"> $seshlistBKID = $seshlistBKID|Sort-Object -Descending
 $seshlistBKID[0]
</code></pre>
 
ot 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42842195-2">$seshlistBKID = 'EndTime : 11/04/2019 07:35:07','EndTime : 10/04/2019 14:58:19','EndTime : 10/04/2019 15:14:52'
$maxtime = (get-date).adddays(-365)
foreach($endtime in $seshlistBKID) {
 $testendtime = [datetime]$endtime.substring(9)
 $testendtime
 if ($testendtime -gt $maxtime) { $maxtime = $testendtime }
 }
 $maxtime
</code></pre>

 $maxtime

But it's working with : 
 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42842198-2">$seshlistBKID = @($allSesh | ?{($_.endtime -ge (Get-Date).AddHours(-60)) -and $_.JobType -eq &quot;Backup&quot; -and $_.jobid -eq $idfix})
$seshlistBKID = $seshlistBKID | Sort-Object -Descending
$mostrecent = $seshlistBKID | select endtime | Select-Object -first 1
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
if your dates are not sorted the try this 
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42842199-1"> Sort-Object -Property endtime -Descending | Select -First 1 
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
Then you are using a subset of powershell .. powershell core? 
 
you should be using powershell 4 or later and add the veeam snapin 
Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapin
</div>

<div>
Just noticed that you are using only part of an array 
line 3 should read 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42842209-1">foreach($endtime in $seshlistBKID.endtime) {
</code></pre>
 
how are you going to use the date in your variable without being able to use substring?

Hi, 
 
I have one variable that reads some veeam jobs. 
 
I want to compare the &quot;endtime&quot; attribute between the jobs : 
 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-10-29142679-1">$seshlistBKID | fl endtime


EndTime : 11/04/2019 07:35:07

EndTime : 10/04/2019 14:58:19

EndTime : 10/04/2019 15:14:52
</code></pre>
 
I want the most recent one and send it to a variable. 
 
I don't know how to do it, I think about export-csv but this is to much for something maybe simple. 
 
Thanks you!

Compare date into a variable

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework.
