Here is my code: [string]$url = "http://sp/Dashboard" [string]$Field = "ProjectID" [string]$Item = "3" [void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") function FindLists() { $site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url) $site.OpenWeb() | foreach { $_.Lists | test([string]$_.Lists) } $site.Dispose() } function test([string]$list) { write-host -url $url -List $list -Item $Item -Field $Field } I know where it's failing and that's because $list is returning all of the lists all at once. The function test's output looks like: -url http://sp/Dashboard -List Action Items Benchmarking Cost Control Calendar Custom workflow process fpdatasources FTP Requests Master Page Gallery Project Manager Quick Links Tasks Workflow History W orkflows -Item 3 -Field ProjectID I need to only have it send one list to my function at a time. I think I need to build an array of lists and pass them into my function. Does anyone know how to do that? Cheers, Matt

As shown in your output Powershell is doing exactly as you asked it to do, whether it makes sense or not.

If you only want one of the Lists, add a Where clause after the following section before the pipe "$_.Lists".

For enumerating through all the Lists, create a $Lists object by calling the $site.Lists method. Then foreach through the $Lists, passing a $List object, or just the List name, to your function.

Would you be able to help me along? I've change the code based off of your recommendations and here's the new version. I am trying to send all of the lists to the test function. I'd like to only have to update the $url and then let the script know what to do.

[string]$url = "http://sp/Dashboard"
[string]$Field = "ProjectID"
[string]$Item = "3"

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

function FindLists() {
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$Lists = $site.OpenWeb().Lists.Title
echo $Lists
#foreach-object { test $Lists }
$site.Dispose()

}

function test([string]$list) {
write-host -url $url -List $list -Item $Item -Field $Field
}

FindLists

I was doing $Lists = $site.OpenWeb().Lists but that returns a whole bunch of xml that I don't know how to filter. I feel I'm close though, do you know how to tweak this to get this working?

I kept plugging away and I finally got it! I was simply looking at the ForEach operator wrong. Here's the code that works:

[string]$url = "http://sp/Dashboard" [string]$Field = "ProjectID" [string]$Item = "3" [void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") function FindLists() { $site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url) $site.OpenWeb().Lists | foreach { test([string]$_.Title) } $site.Dispose() } function test([string]$list) { write-host -url $url -List $list -Item $Item -Field $Field } FindLists
