Get MetaData of pages

this poweshell script will iterate over all the pages in a pages library find ones that have a department field with a value that contains the word Information, then write them to the screen. because i use write-output instead of write-host you can pipe them to a text file like I show in the second example

<#

{

    Param

    (

        # Web address contianing policies and procedures 'http://yoursite/PolicyProcedure'

            [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,

                   ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$False,

                   Position=0)]

        [string]

        $WebAddress

    )

      Begin

      {

            $web = get-spweb $WebAddress

            $pageLib = $web.Lists["Pages"]

      }

      Process

      {

            $PageLib.Items | %{

                  $page = $_

                  if($page["Department"] -like '*Information*'){

                        $pageName = "Page Name = " + $page.Name

                        Write-Output $pageName

                       

                        $dept = "Department = " + $page["Department"].trimstart("23;#")

                        Write-OutPut $dept

                       

                        $eff = "EFF Date = " + $page["Published Effective Date"].trimstart("string;#")

                        Write-Output $eff

                       

                        $cr = "Council Resolution Number = " + $page["Council Resolution Number"]

                        Write-Output $cr

                       

                        $desc = "Description = " + $page["Comments"]

                        Write-Output $desc

                        Write-Output ""

                  }

            }    

      }

      End

      {

            $web.Dispose()

      }

}

you can run this by entering
