mysql - Export list of pretty permalinks and post title

Question

Looking for a way to export a list of pretty permalinks in WordPress with the corresponding post title. Looking for the actual permalink structure defined not the shortlink. I suppose if I have to, I will use a short link, but I prefer the full permalink.

Here's a standalone PHP file you can save into the root of your website called something like /export.php and when you call it with your browser it will send a tab-delimited plain text list of posts with the pretty permalink, the post title and (as a bonus) the post type.

Just load the URL in your browser and then "save as" to a text file you can then load in Excel or however else you need to process it.

<?php

include "wp-load.php";

$posts = new WP_Query('post_type=any&posts_per_page=-1&post_status=publish');
$posts = $posts->posts;
/*
global $wpdb;
$posts = $wpdb->get_results("
    SELECT ID,post_type,post_title
    FROM {$wpdb->posts}
    WHERE post_status<>'auto-draft' AND post_type NOT IN ('revision','nav_menu_item')
");
*/

header('Content-type:text/plain');
foreach($posts as $post) {
    switch ($post->post_type) {
        case 'revision':
        case 'nav_menu_item':
            break;
        case 'page':
            $permalink = get_page_link($post->ID);
            break;
        case 'post':
            $permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
            break;
        case 'attachment':
            $permalink = get_attachment_link($post->ID);
            break;
        default:
            $permalink = get_post_permalink($post->ID);
            break;
    }
    echo "
{$post->post_type}{$permalink}{$post->post_title}";
}

Hope this helps.

P.S. I used the standard WordPress WP_Query() but also included a commented-out SQL in case you prefer (or need) to use it instead.
