Find out whether a file is a symbolic link in PowerShell

Question

I am having a PowerShell script which is walking a directory tree, and sometimes I have auxiliary files hardlinked there which should not be processed. Is there an easy way

Answer 1

here is a one-liner that checks one file $FilePath and returns if it is a symlink or not, works for files and directories

if((Get-ItemProperty $FilePath).LinkType){"symboliclink"}else{"normal path"}
