So far I have this:
netsh wlan show profiles | Select-String '^ All User Profile : (.*)' | ForEach-Object {
$array +=
$_.Matches[0].Groups[1].Value
}
$array[0]
$array[1]
$array[2]
$array[3]
$array[4]
$array[5]
$array[6]
$array[7]
$array[8]
pause
I want to be able to select the string after All User Profile :
and put it into an array, but it is only selecting a single letter. How do I select the strings instead? I want each array to be a different string, and there doesn't have to be 8 there can be more or less.
You are right to use the $matches variable.
$array = netsh wlan show profiles |
ForEach-Object {
if ($_ -match "\s*All User Profile\s*:\s*(.*)") { $($matches[1]) }
}
$array
foreach ($wn in $array) {
netsh wlan show profile name=$wn
}
Split the selected string at ": ". (Note the space.) Then you get the profile name as the value of an array element.
$array = @()
netsh wlan show profiles | Select-String '^ All User Profile : (.*)' | `
ForEach-Object `
-Process {
$profile = ($_ -split ": ")[1]
$array += $profile
} `
-End {$array}
Here's one way to think about how to extract the profile.
# A full string from netsh wlan show profiles
" All User Profile : WibbleCoffeeWiFi"
# Split it, and return the first element. There are leading and trailing spaces.
(" All User Profile : WibbleCoffeeWiFi" -split ': ')[0] # All User Profile
# Split it, and return the second element.
(" All User Profile : WibbleCoffeeWiFi" -split ': ')[1] #WibbleCoffeeWiFi
# Split it, and return the last element. Same as the second element in this case.
(" All User Profile : WibbleCoffeeWiFi" -split ': ')[-1] #WibbleCoffeeWiFi
