Nushell Touch Example

This uses nuls (a custom wrapper of Nushell's ls) to get the fullname and pass this to touch inside of a closue.

nuls -f  d:/drivers/x670e_Taichi/Chipset/ 
  | sort-by modified | 
  last 1 | 
  get fullname  | 
 each {|file| touch -m -t 2025-06-13T06:18:00-04:00 $file}

Nushell LS with a path vs LS without a Path

LS and Glob patterns

In Nushell on Windows, the LS command's behavior differs due to how it handles hidden system directories like "System Volume Information".
Without a path (ls): Uses a wildcard pattern (*) with glob matching, which filters out "System Volume Information" because it has the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN attribute, per Windows-specific hidden file detection logic.
With a path (ls C:): Directly reads directory contents, bypassing glob filtering, so "System Volume Information" is shown if accessible.

RGA

If you want to search inside PDFs (and many other file types like Office documents, archives, e-books, etc.), you can use ripgrep-all (rga), which is a wrapper around ripgrep that adds support for these formats.

rga is available for Windows and can be installed using package managers like Chocolatey or Scoop.
