I’m trying to get timezone on specific UTC using below command in PowerShell:
tzutil /l | find /I "utc-06"But the output shows parameter format error while executing it.
PS C:\Windows\system32> tzutil /l | find /I "utc-06"
FIND: Parameter format not correct
PowerShell evaluates the content within double quotes to perform any variable expansion, sub-expressions, etc, then it discards those double quotes.
In my example, PowerShell returns from “utc-06” is literally utc-06. But FIND.EXE requires the search string enclosed with double quotes.
If you want to prevent PowerShell from stripping the double quotes use the single quote to escape them.
tzutil /l | find /I '"utc-06"'As you can see, the error was gone.
PS C:\Windows\system32> tzutil /l | find /I '"utc-06"'
