$Days = 3

If ( $value -eq 'computer')
{

}
Else
{
$Format = $FormatUS
$Time = $ReferenceTimeUS
}
$Errorz = Get-Content -Path $Log |
Where-Object { $_ -match 'ERR1013' -and [datetime]::ParseExact((($_ -split ' ')[0] + " " + ($_ -split ' ')[1]), $Format, $null) -gt $Time }
I tend to agree with ste5an.
To do what you want, you have to specify a culture reference to ParseExact().

But I have to admit that I don't understand the problem. There is only one valid format, which is ISO 8601 to avoid any ambiguity and to add lexical sortablilty as property to an date/time literal.
Thus my first step is always to get the best available input.
Especially when it is about date formats, using ambiguous date formats will always lead to lesser data quality.
