Need to narrow WMI query output

[Bodman 0]

Hi All, I have generated a WMI query using scriptomatic, but im trying to only output the information after the Dependent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID="USB\\VID_152D&PID_2338\\

So Basically I want to run my script and all to appear is the answer D57CA7226232

Any help greatly appreciated, I've gone around and around trying to solve this

AccessState:

Antecedent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_USBController.DeviceID="PCI\\VEN_8086&DEV_283A&SUBSYS_101017AA&REV_02\\3&18D45AA6&0&D7"

Dependent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID="USB\\VID_152D&PID_2338\\D57CA7226232"

$Output=""

$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_USBControllerDevice", "WQL", _
                                          $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)
If IsObj($colItems) then
   For $objItem In $colItems
       $Output = $Output & "Dependent: " & $objItem.Dependent & @CRLF
      if Msgbox(1,"WMI Output",$Output) = 2 then ExitLoop
      $Output=""
   Next
Else
   Msgbox(0,"WMI Output","No WMI Objects Found for class: " & "Win32_USBControllerDevice" )
Endif

Thanks

Can we assume that what you want always follows the last backslash? If so...

Thanks for that, the script actually outputs the whole of the USBControllerDevice (22 lines see below) but I only want the information for 1 device (Dependent: \\COMPUTER\root\cimv2:Win32_PnPEntity.DeviceID="USB\\VID_152D&PID_2338\\ ) Any idea how I can limit it to that.

Save the 22 line output as a file. Ether Read each line or if you know exactly what line it is everytime, then msgbox the what you want from the line.

I thought it should be something like this

$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_USBControllerDevice WHERE Dependent LIKE '%VID_152D&PID_2338%' ", "WQL", ...

But when I try to run this it returns nothing, so maybe there is needed some tweaking ...

Ive tried every permutation of this that I can and unfortunately I still cant get any output although it definitely seems on the right tracks

According to MSDN

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394505(v=vs.85).aspx

Dependent property is not type string but Reference to the CIM_LogicalDevice instance.

That's why WHERE + LIKE doesn't work.

Thanks, I actually got it working by using a different WMI Class

SELECT * FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE DeviceID LIKE '%VID_152D&PID_2338%'

But I have found that when I run it on some of our computers I just get the answer D57CA7226232 but on others I get 2 answers D57CA7226232 and blank (Empty Message box)

This is because on those clients I have VID_152D&PID_2338 and also VID_152D&PID_2338&MI_00

how do I ignore the null value or the data from VID_152D&PID_2338&MI_00. I have tried NOT LIKE in the Query, but it dosnt like that

   ConsoleWrite ($Output)$Output = StringTrimRight($objItem.DeviceID, 1) ; trim trailing quote
    $Output = "" & StringTrimLeft($Output, StringInStr($Output, "\", 2, -1)) & @CRLF

Msgbox(1,"WMI Output",$Output)
 Next 
Endif
endfunc

escape the backslash after VID_152D&PID_2338 with a backslash

$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT DeviceID FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE DeviceID LIKE '%VID_152D&PID_2338\\%' ", "WQL", _
