Convert PS to CMD

Good afternoon,

I almost have this, but NOT quite.

I do NOT want alternative code etc, I want to try and crack this as a conversion from PowerShell to CMD Prompt. It's just my little Brain exercise [ little grey cells as Poirot would say ] for the day.

This works in PowerShell . . .

Code:

Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match "NTFS"} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object {echo "$(echo $_.Name) [$(echo $_.Label)]"}

\\?\Volume{30cf9d4a-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}\ [System Reserved]
C:\ [Win_10]
D:\ [Data]
S:\ [System_Image]

I have tried converting it into a CMD. Here are some of the things that I have tried, and they all produce the correct results except that EACH result is spread over TWO lines, as opposed to ONE line for each as per the PowerShell output . . .

Code:

PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object "{echo "$(echo $_.Name) [$(echo $_.Label)]"}""
PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object {echo "$(echo $_.Name) [$(echo $_.Label)]"}"
PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object "{echo $(echo $_.Name), [$(echo $_.Label)]}"
PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object "{echo $(echo $_.Name) [$(echo $_.Label)]}""
PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object {echo '$(echo $_.Name) [$(echo $_.Label)]'}"
PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object {echo "$^(echo $_.Name^) [$^(echo $_.Label^)]"}"
PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object {echo "$(echo $_.Name)" + "[$(echo $_.Label)]"}"
PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object {echo "$(echo $_.Name)": + "[$(echo $_.Label)]"}"

Output over TWO lines from my attempts above . . .

Code:

\\?\Volume{30cf9d4a-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}\
[System Reserved]
C:\
[Win_10]
D:\
[Data]
S:\
[System_Image]

I have often converted code without any problems, but the introduction of echo has got me stumped on this one. The TWO lines for EACH result output needs to be connected together somehow. I am sure that it has something to do with the doubling up of Parenthesis or something similar.

Thanks.

Lol.

I'm looking forward to the release of your new book:

Hacking Putin

Cracked it . . .

Code:

PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object {echo """$(echo $_.Name) [$(echo $_.Label)]"""}"

Thanks for trying to help out @das10.

Good for you. I was trying:

Code:

PowerShell "Get-wmiObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystem -Match 'NTFS'} | Sort {$_.Name} | ForEach-Object "{cmd /c echo "$(echo $_.Name) [$(echo $_.Label)]"}""

I really don't know how many Variations / Combinations / Permutations I tried. Remembering what I used and didn't work [ Edison and the Light Bulb scenario ] will hopefully help in the future if I come across a similar case.

Here you go guys, the one for today.

Two separate commands work. The output should be OS Manufacturer : Microsoft Corporation . . .

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      : '"
 OS Manufacturer      :

C:\Windows\system32>PowerShell "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property Manufacturer | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

Microsoft Corporation

Now I am trying to get it on ONE line. Here are a small collection of what I have tried so far . . .

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :'"; "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property 'Manufacturer' | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :'"; -NoNewline "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property 'Manufacturer' | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :'"; -NoNewline ("Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property 'Manufacturer' | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders")

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :'" -NoNewline ("Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property 'Manufacturer' | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders")

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :'" -NoNewline "Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property Manufacturer | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :' -NoNewline Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property Manufacturer | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

I have done it this way so I can put the : wherever I want it and also I do NOT want it to show the TableHeader, hence -HideTableHeaders.

Close . . .

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :' -NoNewline; Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property Manufacturer | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

 OS Manufacturer      :
Microsoft Corporation

Close . . .

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host ""' OS Manufacturer      :'" Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -Property Manufacturer | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

 OS Manufacturer : Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem

Close 'ish . . .

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :'" "(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem) | Select-Object -Property Manufacturer | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

 OS Manufacturer      : Win32_OperatingSystem: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

May be try :

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :' -NoNewline ; Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select Manufacturer -expandproperty Manufacturer| Format-Table -HideTableHeaders"

or

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :' -NoNewline ; Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select Manufacturer -expandproperty Manufacturer "

or

Code:

PowerShell Write-Host "' OS Manufacturer      :'(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem).Manufacturer"

Brilliant, thank you, you beat me to it today.
