New-TimeSpan |
Creates a TimeSpan object.
New-TimeSpan [[-Start] <DateTime>] [[-End] <DateTime>] [<CommonParameters>]
New-TimeSpan [-Days <Int32>] [-Hours <Int32>] [-Minutes <Int32>] [-Seconds <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
The New-TimeSpan cmdlet creates a TimeSpan object that represents a time interval.
You can use a TimeSpan object to add or subtract time from DateTime objects.
Without parameters, a New-TimeSpan command returns a TimeSpan object that represents a time
interval of zero.
This command creates a TimeSpan object with a duration of 1 hour and 25 minutes and stores it in
a variable named $TimeSpan. It displays a representation of the TimeSpan object.
$TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Hours 1 -Minutes 25
$TimeSpanDays : 0
Hours : 1
Minutes : 25
Seconds : 0
Milliseconds : 0
Ticks : 51000000000
TotalDays : 0.0590277777777778
TotalHours : 1.41666666666667
TotalMinutes : 85
TotalSeconds : 5100
TotalMilliseconds : 5100000
This example creates a new TimeSpan object that represents the interval between the time that the command is run and January 1, 2010.
This command does not require the Start parameter, because the default value of the Start parameter is the current date and time.
New-TimeSpan -End (Get-Date -Year 2010 -Month 1 -Day 1)$90days = New-TimeSpan -Days 90
(Get-Date) + $90daysThese commands return the date that is 90 days after the current date.
This command tells you how long it has been since the about_remote help file was last updated. You can use this command format on any file, or any other object that has a LastWriteTime property.
This command works because the Start parameter of New-TimeSpan has an alias of
LastWriteTime. When you pipe an object that has a LastWriteTime property to New-TimeSpan,
PowerShell uses the value of the LastWriteTime property as the value of the Start parameter.

Default value: 0
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecifies the start of a time span.
Enter a string that represents the date and time, such as "3/15/09" or a DateTime object, such
as one from a Get-Date command. The default value is the current date and time.
You can use Start or its alias, LastWriteTime.
The LastWriteTime alias lets you pipe objects that have a LastWriteTime property,
such as files in the file system [System.Io.FileIO], to the Start parameter of New-TimeSpan.
Type: DateTime
Parameter Sets: Date
Aliases: LastWriteTime
Required: False
Position: 1
Default value: Current date and time
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: FalseThis cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
You can pipe a DateTime object that represents that start time to New-TimeSpan.
New-TimeSpan returns an object that represents the time span.
