Vista - get-childitem . -Name | where {$_.PsIsContainer} not working in 1.

Hi,

The following command works on RC1 and RC2, but it dosen't work on the
powershell 1.0 release.

get-childitem . -Name | where {$_.PsIsContainer}

This above command returns all directories only. This dosen't return any
results in powershell 1.0. Does anyone know if this is a bug and how can I
overcome this.

Thanks,
Bharat

The following gets all sub-directories of the current folder:

get-childitem | where {$_.PsIsContainer}

No I want only the directory names. So the one below dosen't work for me.
-Name returns only the directory names.

Thanks,

Get-ChildItem . | where{$_.Psiscontainer} | select name

will do what you want. According to the help file on get-childitem if you
use -name it will only pass the name into the pipeline which is why you can't
then use the where cmdlet

Yep that name is passed as a string type which doens't have a PSIsContainer
property. Rich's approach is the one I would take.

Another way

Perhaps Microsoft's Log Parser 2.2

PS> LogParser -h -i:fs

Input format: FS (FileSystem properties)
Returns properties of files and folders
