When you run this script it will create a .csv file where you are running your script.

$URL = "siteurl"

$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($URL)

$web = $site.openweb("")

#logging

$timestamp = get-date -format "yyyyMMdd_hhmmtt"

$filenameStart = "Log2CSVFile"

$logfile = ("{0}{1}.csv" -f $filenamestart, $timestamp)

$header | out-file -FilePath $logfile

            $list=$web.Lists["User Information List"]

            $listname = $list.title

            $msg = ("{0},{1}" -f "List:", "$listname")

            $msg | out-file -FilePath $logfile  -append

SharePoint 2010: Custom Rss Feed for Document Library

Here is the good post for custom Rss Feed. It worked for me.

 If you are working for document library replace “LinkTitle” with Title as shown below code.

foreach (SPListItem item in items)

          {

              sb.Append("<item>");

              AddTag("title", item["Title"].ToString(), sb);

              //AddTag("link", list.RootFolder.Url + "/DispForm.aspx?ID=" + item.ID, sb);

             // AddTag("link", "http://site/News/default.aspx?itemid=" + item.ID, sb);

             AddTag("link", "http://site/news/default.aspx?itemid=" + item.ID, sb);

              //AddTag("link", listurl  + item.ID, sb);

             

              sb.Append("<description>");

             

              foreach (string viewField in view.ViewFields)

              {

                  if (viewField != "Title")

                  //if (viewField != "LinkTitle")

                  {

                      AddTag(viewField.Replace("_x0020_", " "),item.GetFormattedValue(viewField), sb);

                  }

              }

              sb.Append("</description>");

              sb.Append("</item>");

          }
