You missed a curly brace. But there's more problems in your code. It is not possible to pipe a System.Diagnostics.Process object to 'dir'
I made this, which I think gives the output you want:
Get-Process s* |where {$_.Path} | ForEach-Object {Get-Item $_.Path } |
Sort-Object LastWriteTime | Format-Table fullname, name,LastWriteTime
What it does:
- Get all processes where the name start with an s and the returned object has the Path property defined
- Get the file object of each process
- sort the file objects by LastWriteTime
- Format the output
