Hello C, :)

Yes, you sure can using the Out-File command.

Substitute the part in red at the end of the example command below with the full path and .txt file name you want instead.

Code:

(netsh wlan show profiles) | Select-String "\:(.+)$" | %{$name=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{(netsh wlan show profile name="$name" key=clear)}  | Select-String "Key Content\W+\:(.+)$" | %{$pass=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{[PSCustomObject]@{ PROFILE_NAME=$name;PASSWORD=$pass }} | Out-File "C:\Users\Brink\Desktop\WirelessNetworkPasswords.txt"

UPDATE: I have added a text file output option to OPTION ONE to help.

Hello @RickC, :)

This is most likely from the output is in a table format causing them to be truncated like that.

Format-Table

Please test the PowerShell commands below with the first command using "Format-Table -AutoSize" added and the second command using "Format-Table -Wrap" added to it to see if that may help.

Code:

(netsh wlan show profiles) | Select-String "\:(.+)$" | %{$name=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{(netsh wlan show profile name="$name" key=clear)}  | Select-String "Key Content\W+\:(.+)$" | %{$pass=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{[PSCustomObject]@{ PROFILE_NAME=$name;PASSWORD=$pass }} | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-File "$env:userprofile\Desktop\WirelessNetworkPasswords.txt"

Code:

(netsh wlan show profiles) | Select-String "\:(.+)$" | %{$name=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{(netsh wlan show profile name="$name" key=clear)}  | Select-String "Key Content\W+\:(.+)$" | %{$pass=$_.Matches.Groups[1].Value.Trim(); $_} | %{[PSCustomObject]@{ PROFILE_NAME=$name;PASSWORD=$pass }} | Format-Table -Wrap | Out-File "$env:userprofile\Desktop\WirelessNetworkPasswords.txt"

EDIT:

I just tested the original command currently in the tutorial with a SSID of "Brink-Routerxxxxxx", and it didn't get truncated.

It'll be interesting to hear how the test commands above work for you with the extra formatting parameter added.

Great news. I'll add "Format-Table -AutoSize" to the tutorial now to help those with the same issue. :)

Thank you oneless. I hope you have a Happy New Year as well. :)

I've done the same (well, similar) using an AutoHotkey wrapper. Have a look at Help for Win10 1607's confusing Wi-Fi settings - Page 2 | Windows Secrets Lounge. Since then I've improved it so it's now at v3.

Code:

; Thanks to 'garry' in the AHK forum for suggestimg 'FileRead' instead of 'FileReadLine'
