I previously blogged about exporting files and metadata from Sharepoint.<\/a> It worked!!!! Well, now that all the files are extracted – I have ended up with a csv.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. seems some double quotes are included – but a proper csv parser (eg. Excel) will turn those into 1 single quote<\/li>\n
  2. The Xml column contains an xml node<\/li>\n
  3. Add an xml header and a root node\n
      \n
    1. <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”no” ?><\/li>\n
    2. <root><\/li>\n
    3. <z:row …..
      \n\/><\/li>\n
    4. <\/root><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. Then using Notepad++ with “XML Tools plugin installed” – you can surf the node path with ctrl-alt-shift-P\n
        \n
      1. turns out to be \/root\/z:row<\/li>\n
      2. a c# app – try this article<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. Also – use the Plugins->xml tools->Pretty Print Attributes<\/li>\n
      4. An XPath \/root\/z:row[@ows_MetaInfo] would get what we require\n
          \n
        1. Parse this crazy thing with CRLF or<\/li>\n
        2. The first number 1234;# is the id number – remove it<\/li>\n
        3. field:TY|val\n
            \n
          1. field name<\/li>\n
          2. TY = type<\/li>\n
          3. val = value<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          4. Use a regex like this to parse<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          5. Now .. undoing the whole thing by hand\n
              \n
            1. undo the HTML Entities – now this will likely be done with the XML API\n
                \n
              1. use the Notpad++ plugin HTML Tag (Plugin->Html Tag->Decode Enitites)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
              2. &lt; -> < etc.<\/li>\n
              3. unencode entities like #x0020 to a space etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
              4. To extract thumbnails – they are stored in Base64 – here is a c# app to decode<\/a> into jpegs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
