Convert PS to CMD

Last one for the week.

This is the original Command and output . . .

Code:

PowerShell "(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem).Name"

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro|C:\Windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2

------------------------------------------
--- You could of course, also use this ---
------------------------------------------

PowerShell "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select Name"

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro|C:\Windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2

I would like the output to just be \Device\Harddisk0\Partition2

These are just some of which I have tried . . .

Code:

PowerShell "(((Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select Name).Trim() -Split '\'))[1]"
PowerShell "((Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem).Name).Substring($String.IndexOf('\'), 4)"
PowerShell "(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select Name).Substring($string.IndexOf('\'), 2)"
PowerShell "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select Name -Replace '*\\'"
PowerShell "(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem).Name -replace '*\\'"
PowerShell "(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem).Name -split '\',3"
PowerShell "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select Name -split '\',3"

Try :

Code:

PowerShell "(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem).Name -replace '^.*\|.*\|','' "

Works perfectly.

I have gone off on a tangent. I always make things difficult for myself, but as my Dad used to say, it's a learning process for the future Son.

Anyway, I came up with these . . .

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "'Disk and Partition : Disk ' -NoNewline; Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsBoot -eq 'True'} | Select DiskNumber -ExpandProperty DiskNumber"

Disk and Partition : Disk 0

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "'Disk and Partition : Partition ' -NoNewline; Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsBoot -eq 'True'} | Select PartitionNumber -ExpandProperty PartitionNumber"

Disk and Partition : Partition 2

Then I thought that I would try and get them BOTH on the same line, so it looks like this . . .

Disk and Partition : Disk 0 Partition 2

I have ALMOST cracked it except it splits into TWO lines . . .

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "'Disk and Partition : Disk ' -NoNewline; Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsBoot -eq 'True'} | Select DiskNumber -ExpandProperty DiskNumber"; Write-Host "' Partition ' -NoNewline; Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsBoot -eq 'True'} | Select PartitionNumber -ExpandProperty PartitionNumber"

Disk and Partition : Disk 0
 Partition 2

Once I have cracked this, I can easily apply it to another couple which are in the same format, and I am finished.

Thanks for all your help, time, and effort on this, it is appreciated.

The closest I get is this:

Code:

PowerShell $AAA="Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsBoot -eq 'True'} | Select DiskNumber -ExpandProperty DiskNumber"; $BBB=" Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsBoot -eq 'True'} | Select PartitionNumber -ExpandProperty PartitionNumber"; Write-Host 'Disk and Partition : Disk ' $AAA 'Partition ' $BBB

Brilliant, I didn't even think of using Variables.

It also gets rid of those pesky -NoNewline Commands. That's where being used to PS pays off.

I have just applied that format to one previous in this thread, and it works for that, so I might change the ones I have already setup because it is cleaner and slicker.

Thanks again.

The following outputs . . .

Code:

PowerShell "Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion' | Select RegisteredOrganization"

RegisteredOrganization
----------------------

If the output is NULL as above, I want to put NO Information like this . . .

Code:

RegisteredOrganization
----------------------
NO Information

This is what I have tried so far . . .

Code:

PowerShell "if(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'.RegisteredOrganization -eq $NULL) {"'NO Information'"} else {($_.RegisteredOrganization)}"

PowerShell "if(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'.RegisteredOrganization -eq $NULL) {"'NO Information'"} else {($_.RegisteredOrganization)}"

PowerShell "@if(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'.RegisteredOrganization -eq $NULL) {'NO Info'} else ($_.RegisteredOrganization)"

PowerShell @if"(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'.RegisteredOrganization -eq $NULL) {"'NO Info'"} else ($_.RegisteredOrganization)"

I keep getting the message . . .

Get-ItemProperty : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null..

I had a bit of success with this . . .

Code:

PowerShell "Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion' | Select RegisteredOrganization, @{Expression={if($_.RegisteredOrganization) {$_.RegisteredOrganization} else {"'NO Information'"}}}"

RegisteredOrganization  if ($_.RegisteredOrganization) { $_.RegisteredOrganization } else { 'NO Information' }
---------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       NO Information

Paul, could you test the following; I keep swapping in and out of VirtualBox so I can test the Organization Name commands, but I think it works:

Code:

Powershell $AAA="Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion' | Select RegisteredOrganization -ExpandProperty RegisteredOrganization; if ($AAA -like '') { Write-Host 'Not Available' }  else { Write-Host $AAA }"

ps: I think the code needs adjustments to reflect 'exactly' the format of the Output that you want !

Great, I changed it to this . . .

Code:

Powershell $AAA="Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion' | Select RegisteredOrganization -ExpandProperty RegisteredOrganization; if ($AAA -like '') { Write-Host 'Registered Organization   : Not Available' }  else { Write-Host 'Registered Organization   : ' $AAA }"

Registered Organization   : Not Available

Unfortunately I can't check if it works if there IS information.

I checked in a VBox with the Registered Organization, and it seems to work; and if you want to show the Output 'exactly' like you have shown in post #17, this is is one hacky way:

Code:

Powershell $AAA="Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion' | Select RegisteredOrganization -ExpandProperty RegisteredOrganization; if ($AAA -like '') { Write-Host "`nRegisteredOrganization`n----------------------`nNo Information" }  else { Write-Host "`nRegisteredOrganization`n----------------------`n$AAA" }"

Thanks for testing that, it is appreciated, and thanks for the extra code, I will add that to my PS folder file.

I do actually want the output as I have got the output in post #19, so that is great.
