PowerShell v2 Multiple Where Filters

A couple of years ago I posted this:

Powershell - Multiple Where-Object Filters

As one of the comments noted I needed to look into the conjunctions: -and and -or. Revising this script it should look like this now:

Get-ChildItem -Path C: -Recurse -Include *.txt | Where {($_.Length -eq 0) -and ($_.Mode -eq "-a---")}

The conjunction -and eliminates the need for multiple pipelined where clauses. Knowing what I know now, I cannot think of a single use for what I posted. Just wrap each individual search criteria in parentheses and put -ands between them.
