You know how it is, you start developing a project and then 6 months later you look back and realise you have to document everything you've produced.
I've just gone through that process and need a quick list of all the features ids scattered around various subdirectories of a large project.
sample:
<Feature Id="886f12cf-97ca-4789-baf8-6f13f9f2cedf" Title="PGPSO Contract Management Project Upgrade" Description="Feature that upgrades Project Sites for Contract Management." Version="12.0.0.0" Hidden="FALSE" Scope="Web" DefaultResourceFile="core" ReceiverAssembly="PGPSO_CM_Project_Upgrade, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aa0408b86137366a" ReceiverClass="PGPSO_CM_Project_Upgrade.PGPSO_CM_Project_Upgrade" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
Firing up Powershell navigating to the root of the solution folders and running this command gets me the list
gci -recurse -filter feature.xml | % { $contents=get-content $_.fullname; $x=[XML]$contents; "{0} {1}" -f $x.Feature.Id, $x.feature.title }
result:
gci is an alias for get-childitem which allow you to recurse subfolders and provide a filter parameter. Then use get-content to open the file, convert to an XML object and then directly reference the Id and title of the feature.xml file.
