formating date values

[boyddt_co]

I'm working on a script (still) that pulls data from an xml file i've got it working and pushing the data to a file. The problem that I have now is that the date is "June 27, 2007" and I need "6/27/2007". I've tried -f and I get an error of not being able to format the screen. I've you need the exact error i can add that code and re-run. i've also tried to use [datevalue] on the string and i get this error: "make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded."it seems as though get-date has a lot of features but formating a string doesn't.Thanx in advance.P.S. I do plan on getting a book this weekend.

$date=Get-Date
$date.toshortdatestring()

Define a variable at the beginning$dt=get-date -f yyyy-MM-ddHH:mmThen in your loop:$row.idtime=$dtIs that what you're after?
