How can I check if a Document Library is empty or not using powershell.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://skynet
ForEach($list in $web.Lists)
{
if($list.BaseType -eq "DocumentLibrary")
{
Write-Host $list.Fields
if($list.Fields.ContainsField("GPMS marking") -eq $true -AND documentlibrary ISNOT empty)
{
Write-Host "found" $list.Title
}
}
}
You can get the count of the items in document library as:
Count = $List.Folders.Count + $List.Items.Count
And use the condition accordingly.
I think you need to change you logic, before checking the If statement, you have to count the Number of items(ItemCount) in the Document library. Because their is no OOTB property /Method to check this.
If item Count is not equal to zero then you can do the IF statement for contain fields. else you can do what else you want.
here are 2 MSFT staff Blogs for checking the Item Count into the Library.
