The following shows the contents of the output file. New-XLSXWorkbook -InputTables $dt -OutputFileName $OutputFile $OutputFile = 'd:\temp\export\DuplicateDocuments.xlsx' Again, we will only export if duplicate documents were found.
Powershell find duplicate files full#
If( -not ( $pwDocuments_Temp.Contains( $pwDocument.Name))) # end if($pwDocuments_DuplicateNames.Count.įinally, we export the $dt datatable, which only contains the document name and full path for all duplicate documents to an Excel workbook. # Loop through all documents and find any duplicate document names. At this point, we will no longer need the $pwDocuments_Temp arraylist and can remove the variable. At the end of processing all documents, the $pwDocuments_DuplicateNames arraylist will contain ONLY the duplicate document names. If a document already exists in that arraylist, the document name will be added to the $pwDocuments_DuplicateNames arraylist. We will loop through all documents in the $pwDocuments variable, and add document names to the $pwDocuments_Temp arraylist. $pwDocuments_DuplicateNames = New-Object $pwDocuments_Temp = New-Object # Array to store duplicate document names. # Temporary array to help facilitate finding duplicate documents. Obviously, this is a very simple example, but the concept is really what I am trying to convey. The following image shows the number of documents and the names. $pwDocuments = Get-PWDocumentsBySearch -FolderPath $PWFolder You could also use the SearchName or FolderID. $PWFolder = 'PowerShell\PowerShell_Test' # Get Documents to check for duplicates. # Project Folder to search for documents. An array of ProjectWise Document Objects will be returned and populate the $pwDocuments variable. For this we will use the Get-PWDocumentsBySearch. So, if you have another way of getting duplicate document names, please share.įirst thing we need to do is get a list of all of the documents within the specified ProjectWise Project. Also, this is not the only way to accomplish this, just what I have come up with. This solution was developed using PWPS_DAB version 1.10.2.0.
I would recommend looking at the help for each cmdlet to familiarize yourself with each. We will use the following cmdlets provided with the PWPS_DAB module to get all documents within a project, determine which ones are duplicates, and output the results to an Excel workbook. So, how do we get a report of the duplicate document names? If you were not aware of the duplicate document names, you wouldn’t know to use the priority and proximity options within the Scan Reference and Link Sets tool, which apparently can cause some issues. If you have multiple documents with the same name, the first one found is the one used. Once a match is found, it moves on the next reference. The way the Scan References process works, as far as I know, is that the specified folders will be scanned for a document matching the name of the reference document obtained from the design file header. Reason for the question was that after running a Scan References and Link Sets, some of their design files were referencing the wrong document(s). I was recently asked if there was a way to get a list of duplicate document names within a project. It’s a fun way to get into using cryptocurrencies all while getting your PowerShell needs met.
