Function Import-SPRListData { <# .SYNOPSIS Imports all items from a file into a SharePoint list. .DESCRIPTION Imports all items from a file into a SharePoint list. To import from any other types of objects, use Add-SPRListItem. .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 AutoCreateList Autocreate the SharePoint list if it does not exist .PARAMETER InputObject Allows piping from Get-ChildItem .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 Import-SPRListData -Site intranet.ad.local -ListName 'My List' -Path C:\temp\mylist.xml Imports all items from C:\temp\mylist.xml to My List on intranet.ad.local .EXAMPLE Get-SPRListData -Path C:\temp\mylist.xml | Import-SPRListData -ListName 'My List' -Site intranet.ad.local Imports all items from C:\temp\mylist.xml to My List on intranet.ad.local #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] param ( [Parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory, HelpMessage = "Human-readble SharePoint list name")] [string]$ListName, [string]$Path, [switch]$AutoCreateList, [Parameter(HelpMessage = "SharePoint Site Collection")] [string]$Site, [PSCredential]$Credential, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [System.IO.FileInfo[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) process { if (-not $InputObject) { if ($Path) { try { $InputObject = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ return } } else { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "You must specify Path pipe in the results of Get-ChildItem" return } } foreach ($file in $InputObject) { try { Import-Clixml -Path $file | Add-SPRListItem -Site $Site -Credential $Credential -ListName $ListName -AutoCreateList:$AutoCreateList } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ -Continue } } } } |
