Issue:

How get the month value from datetime function in powershell?

Solution:

Enter a ps1 script like this:

# get today's day number: Get-Date -UFormat "%d"
# set month value in a variable: [String]$Manaden = (Get-Date -UFormat "%m")

[String]$Dagen = (Get-Date -UFormat "%d")
[String]$Manaden = (Get-Date -UFormat "%m")

# debug lines 
Write-Host [$Manaden]

 

UFormat specifiers to format the DateTime result of Get-Date in PowerShell. Return a formatted string and not a date object.
