ANSWER 1

Score 161

In Powershell 3.0, it is simpler,

gci -Directory #List only directories
gci -File #List only files

This is even shorter,

gci -ad # alias for -Directory
gci -af # alias for -File

Try this:

gci . *.* -rec | where { ! $_.PSIsContainer }

ANSWER 3

Score 0

This is not working when anyone named the folder xxx.PDF:

get-childitem -Recurse -include *.pdf

Best then you can do:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Include *.pdf | where { ! $_.PSIsContainer }
