I've been working on a size range filter script for over an hour and finally after reducing the Get-ChildItem to the bare minimum before piping to where-object got a hint at what was going on enough to check 'Help Get-ChildItem -Full' to fine this lovely gem. (Concerning '-Name') "If you pipe the output of this command to another command, only the item names are sent."

What genius thought that was a good idea? I guess lesson learned is Get-ChildItem is the exception to filter left to right? If some of the experts can shed some light on this I appreciate but geez.

EDIT: I know for you experts that have been doing this for years this would be a rookie mistake but yeah, I'm teaching myself and figuring out things as I go. So leaving this here in cause someone else has a brain fart and needs a jolt.
