I’m trying to extract the GUIDS from this list. Get-WMIObject WIN32_Product | ? {$_.IdentifyingNumber

  • 0

I’m trying to extract the GUIDS from this list.

Get-WMIObject WIN32_Product | ? {$_.IdentifyingNumber -like “*26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F8321*FF*”} | Format-List IdentifyingNumber

is it possible to convert each item into a string and possibly assign them to variables?

Here’s what I was trying, but it’s not working. but maybe this will show the logic i am trying:

$A = Get-WMIObject WIN32_Product | ? {$_.IdentifyingNumber -like “*26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F8321*FF*”} | Format-List IdentifyingNumber

$GUIDList = ForEach-Object{$A.ToString()}

$GUIDList

    Format-list is, as the name suggests, for display formatting purposes.

    Based on your usage, I suppose you can use Select-Object instead:

    | Select-Object IdentifyingNumber

    After that you will have an array of objects with property IdentifyingNumbers.

    If you just want array /list of strings ( assuming the property is string ) you could do:

    | Select-Object -expand IdentifyingNumber
