How to exclude list of items from Get-ChildItem result in powershell?

Question

I want to get list of files (actually number of files) in a path, recursively, excluding certain types:

Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse | ? { $_.Name -notlike "*.cs" -and $_.Name -notlike "*.tt" } 

but I have a long list of exclusions (to name a few):

@("*.cs", "*.tt", "*.xaml", "*.csproj", "*.sln", "*.xml", "*.cmd", "*.txt") 

How to get the list using this form:

Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse | ? { <# what to put here ?#> } 

?

Answer 1

This works too:

get-childitem $path -recurse -exclude *.cs,*.tt,*.xaml,*.csproj,*.sln,*.xml,*.cmd,*.txt 

Note that -include only works with -recurse or a wildcard in the path. (actually it works all the time in 6.1 pre 2)

Also note that using both -exclude and -filter will not list anything, without -recurse or a wildcard in the path.

-include and -literalpath also seem problematic in PS 5.

There's also a bug with -include and -exclude with the path at the root "\", that displays nothing. In unix it gives an error.
