How do I filter results by object type in PowerShell?
I'd like to filter a list of objects by its type in PowerShell. I can, of course, use the type name and string comparison to do that:
PS C:> gci -r | where { $_.GetType().Name -eq "DirectoryInfo" }
but having roots in C#, I was looking for something like the is operator.
Is my way the best, or is there another way?
