Question

Get-WmiObject -list | where-object {$_.name -match "win32"} | Select-Object 
name,methods,properties

This displays the name, methods and properties of each Win32 class and I wanted to get this information into a CSV file.

The following however outputs doesn’t output the same information.

Get-WmiObject -list | where-object {$_.name -match "win32"} | Select-Object 
name,methods,properties | Export-CSV "c:\output.csv"

How can I do this?

(Updated my script as it had an error.)

You need to do some extra manual work and make sure you expand the names and join them by some delimiter:

$methods = @{n='Methods';e={ ($_.Methods | select -expand Name) -join ';'}}
$properties = @{n='Properties';e={ ($_.Properties  | select -expand Name) -join ';'}}

Get-WmiObject -List | 
Where-Object {$_.Name -like "Win32_*"} | 
Select-Object Name,$methods,$properties | 
Export-Csv .\win32.csv -NoTypeInformation
