How can I get Powershell to output a file IDENTICAL to the file produced by the following command? dir /s /b /a-d *.* > C:\files.txt should be easy, right?!!

I used to use a different source control tool and it allowed me to get a "diff report": all the changes made to a file between version X and version Y (including lines added/removed between each version, which could be many versions) in one text file. It was pretty handy for situations where you are pretty sure that some code used to be ...

Some background: SharePoint+PowerShell is (Usually) a Perfect Match by Zach Rosenfield [MSFT] SharePoint+PowerShell Leak Workarounds by me SO: Could you explain STA and MTA?

Does anyone have a handy powershell script that gets a set of files from TFS based on a modification date? I'd like to say "give me all the files in this folder (or subfolder) that were modified after X/Y/ZZZZ" and dump those files to a folder other than the folder they would normally go to. I know enough powershell to hack about and get...
