[dba-Tech] PowerShell - formatting output

Hi John

I guess something like this:

    Write-Host "Expiration Date"$xml.RegistrationConfig.ExpireDate.ToShortDateString()

/gustav

Is anyone on this list familiar with PowerShell formatting?

I want to grab a datetime value out of an xml file and output it in a
friendly display rather than what I'm getting now: 2015-01-20T00:00:00

Try {
        $xml = [xml](get-content C:\ProgramData\ACME\RegistrationConfig.xml)
#C:\Programdata\RegistrationConfig.xml
        Write-Host "Expiration Date"$xml.RegistrationConfig.ExpireDate
        exit 0
        }
Catch {
        Write-Host "Failure"
        exit 1001
          }

TIA
John B
