Answer 1

There are plenty of examples out on the internet. You will learn a lot more if you do a little searching and try to write it yourself. Then ask a question about what you can't figure out.

Answer 2

Hi,

You can get files using the Get-ChildItem cmdlet and filter with a specific file property by Where-Object

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-childitem?view=powershell-7.3

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/where-object?view=powershell-7.3

For example, to list the files less than 30 days, you can filter with the LastWriteTime property.

$date=(Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Folder | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $date}

Best Regards,
