I'm using the PnP PowerShell module to interact with SharePoint lists/libraries. I'm running the following cmdlet to get a list of all the files in a library. This is working perfectly, except it returns all any folders in the library too. Is there anyway to omit folder items? I still want the files within the folders to be returned but just not the folders.
$files = (Get-PnPListItem -List $docLib.Title -Fields FileLeafRef","FileRef","Title").FieldValues
I suspect I can add a Where clause, however I'm not sure what property would identify an item as a folder. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Many thanks

UPDATED: $files[0] returns the following (you can see it's returns a folder called 'General'):
FileLeafRef General
FileRef /sites/Finance/Shared Documents/General

UPDATED: Here are the properties of a file, the FSObjType is different, looks like 1 for folders, and 0 for files:
FileLeafRef Document.docx
FileRef /sites/Finance/Shared Documents/General/Document.docx

So I've updated my call to the following which is now working perfectly, thanks Toni!
$files = (Get-PnPListItem -List $docLib.Title -Fields "FileLeafRef","Title").FieldValues | Where {$_.FSObjType -eq "0"}
$files[0] | gmis enoughFSObjTypetells you what type of object it is and you could probably filter for them by specifying the parameter-query, or at shell level withwhere-object
