How to handle Poweshell result with autoit

How to handle the result from powershell with autoit.

Thought the powershell result would be an array and tried _ArrayDisplay, but nothing happens.

$x = RunWait ( @ComSpec & ' /k @powershell -c "Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/DeviceGuard -ClassName Win32_DeviceGuard"', @SystemDir )
_ArrayDisplay($x)

This is because $X is not an array:

Runwait Return Value:

Success:

Returns the exit code of the program that was run.

Okay, how to save the poweshell result into an array or string?

You can pipe the output of the CMD command to a file. Then you can read the file to get the results.

$x = RunWait ( @ComSpec & ' /k @powershell -c "Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/DeviceGuard -ClassName Win32_DeviceGuard" > c:\logfile.txt ', @SystemDir )

Must it be in PS, since you're running it in AutoIt anyway? Natively, you would do something like this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $sString = ""
Local $oWMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\.\root\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceGuard")
Local $oItems = $oWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_DeviceGuard")
    For $sItem In $oItems
        For $sProperty In $sItem.Properties_
            $sString &= $sProperty.Name & ": " & $sProperty.Value & @CRLF
        Next
    Next

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "DeviceGuard Class Names and Values", $sString)

I would pipe your powershell wmi queries through bash so you can 'cowsay | lolcat' the output to the console, and obfuscate the whole command just to be a dick about it.
