Function Export-SPRListData { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports all items from a SharePoint list to a file. .DESCRIPTION Exports all items from a SharePoint list to a file. .PARAMETER Site The address to the site collection. You can also pass a hostname and it'll figure it out. Don't want to specify the Site or Credential every time? Use Connect-SPRSite to create a reusable connection. See Get-Help Connect-SPRsite for more information. .PARAMETER Credential Provide alternative credentials to the site collection. Otherwise, it will use default credentials. .PARAMETER ListName The human readable list name. So 'My List' as opposed to 'MyList', unless you named it MyList. .PARAMETER Path The target xml file location. .PARAMETER InputObject Allows piping from Get-SPRList or Get-SPRListData .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .EXAMPLE Export-SPRListData -Site intranet.ad.local -ListName 'My List' -Path C:\temp\mylist.xml Exports all items from My List on intranet.ad.local to C:\temp\mylist.xml .EXAMPLE Get-SPRListData -ListName 'My List' -Site intranet.ad.local |Export-SPRListData -Path C:\temp\mylist.xml Exports all items from My List on intranet.ad.local to C:\temp\mylist.xml #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Position = 0, HelpMessage = "Human-readble SharePoint list name")] [string]$ListName, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$Path, [Parameter(HelpMessage = "SharePoint Site Collection")] [string]$Site, [PSCredential]$Credential, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [object]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $collection = @() } process { if (-not $InputObject) { if ($Site) { $InputObject = Get-SprListData -Site $Site -Credential $Credential -ListName $ListName } elseif ($global:spsite) { $InputObject = Get-SprListData -ListName $ListName } else { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "You must specify Site and ListName pipe in results from Get-SPRList" return } } $collection += $InputObject } end { try { $columns = $collection | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty ListObject | Get-SPRColumnDetail | Where-Object { -not $psitem.Hidden -and -not $PSItem.ReadOnly -and $PSItem.Type -notin 'Computed', 'Lookup' -and $PSItem.Name -notin 'Created', 'Author', 'Editor', '_UIVersionString', 'Modified', 'Attachments' } $columnsnames = $columns.Name | Select-Object -Unique $data = $collection | Select-Object -Property $columnsnames Export-Clixml -InputObject $data -Path $Path -ErrorAction Stop Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ } } } |
