I am new to PowerShell and would like to achieve the following tasks on a SharePoint 2010 Document library:
1) Using PowerShell, how can I display the List of Documents in a simple Document Library.
2) While traversing through the documents list, how can I modify the value of a custom added column in the Document Library?
Here's a simple example of how to display and update the 'title' field that could be modified slightly to achieve this:
[void][System.reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://intranet")
$web = $site.rootweb
$list = $web.Lists["Documents"]
foreach ($listItem in $list.Items)
{
#display the filename of the document
write-host $listItem.Name
#update the title field to the filename
$listItem["Title"] = $listItem["Name"]
$listItem.Update()
}
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()
