For long time I wanted to dive a bit deeper into PowerShell. Hopefully I will be able to post few of the sharepoint powershell tricks here.
First one is about getting list items from a sharepoint list:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | cls if((Get-PSSnapin | Where {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}) -eq $null) { Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell; } $sourceWebURL = "http://sharepointsite" $sourceListName = "mylist" $spSourceWeb = Get-SPWeb $sourceWebURL $spSourceList = $spSourceWeb.Lists[$sourceListName] #$spSourceItems = $spSourceList.GetItems() #$spSourceItems = $spSourceList.GetItemById("1") $spSourceItems = $spSourceList.Items | where {$_['ID'] -eq 1} $spSourceItems | ForEach-Object { Write-Host $_['ID'] Write-Host $_['Title'] } |
You can either get all the items with GetItems() method currently commented out or you can filter items by some parameters. Filter applied in the script above is also equal to the GetItemById(“1”) method.
