PowerShell Help array of objects

I need some help with a problem I am working on.

I have an array of objects called $Jobs. $Jobs has several noteproperties of which the important ones are fsono, fduedate, fcompany.

What I want to do is copy only the items that are late into a new array of objects called $late. I have tried everything that I can think of.

I have tried

$late = new-object System.Object[] $countLate#number of late jobs
for($i = 0; $i -lt $Jobs.Length; $i++)
{
 if($job[$i].fduedate -le $currentDate)
 {
  $late[$x] = $Jobs[$i]
  $x++
 }
}

But that does not give me anything in $late when I do PS>$late[0].fsono

The only work around I have found is to clone it

$late = $Jobs.clone()

And then over write the contents of the $late array doing something like

for($i = 0; $i -lt $Jobs.Length; $i++)
{
 if($job[$i].fduedate -le $currentDate)
 {
  $late[$x] = $Jobs[$i]
  $x++
 }
}

Which I hate...

Any ideas? Has to be something easy that I am just unable to see due to being fixated on the problem.

Forgive me if I've misunderstood but wouldn't this do what you're asking?

$lateJobs = @()
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
 if ($job -le $currentDate) {
     $lateJobs += $job
 }
}

I get nothing returned when I run PS C:\>$lateJobs[0].fsono

Same as in my examples. No error, but no data either.

And just a quick correction:

$lateJobs = @()
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
 if ($job.fduedate -le $currentDate) { #forgot the fduedate [IMG]https://us.v-cdn.net/6030959/uploads/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/IMG]
     $lateJobs += $job
 }
}

I'm guessing the IF statement is failing. Add a Write-Host to it:

$lateJobs = @()
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
 if ($job.fduedate -le $currentDate) { #forgot the fduedate [IMG]https://us.v-cdn.net/6030959/uploads/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/IMG]
     Write-Host $job.fsono
     $lateJobs += $job
 }
}

As for the correction - it's not like I QA'd it.

I know! But people might be looking at it to learn. It was for them, not for you.

Yes, this is correct. It's not evaluating as true. But that is odd as I use an if ([datetime]$item.FDueDate -le $currentDate.AddDays(2)) statement just 10 lines up.

What does $item.FDueDate.GetType() return?
