WMI Object Code conversion to AutoIt

[TheDcoder]

Hello, I found a VB snippet which I would love to use in AutoIt

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")
For Each objItem in colItems
     Wscript.Echo objItem.Name
     Wscript.Echo objItem.CommandLine
Next

Despite my best efforts, I am not able to understand a thing from that piece of code . All I know is that it outputs the Name and Commandline of all the processes currently running (Let's see if I am right).

Can anyone help me with convert this into AutoIt? Thanks in Advance!

Are you sure you even tried?

$strComputer = "."
$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")
For $objItem in $colItems
     ConsoleWrite($objItem.Name & "-" & $objItem.CommandLine & @CRLF)
Next

, is that simple!?

I probably overthought it... I read the documentation on MSDN and totally got confused... Thank you very much Jos .

@Jos

$strComputer is just a period. Why did you store it in a variable instead of directly using ?

[Jos]

I just showed how to convert the code without changing it.

Oh, I thought that there is any secret behind that variable.  

[TheDcoder]

@kcvinu He just converted to code to AutoIt, kept it as original as possible .

 

P.S What are you doing in the middle of the night at 2 PM?

P.P.S I see that @Jos has replied before I finished typing this

Currently on night shift mode, need to be on nights because of freelance work... most of my clients are from the US so this timezone is appropriate .

I am still trying to figure out WMI's database structure lol. @TheDcoder is trying to get the command line arguments of a process using its PID.

Have a look at Scriptomatic in the Example scripts forum.
It generates WMI-AutoIt code for you.

@TheDcoder

Just read "Windows Scripting with WMI" from MS-Press.

Thanks for the advice guys, saved it for later

You can use scriptomatic that will convert pure WMI into autoit

Isn't it exactly what @water said in post #10 of this very same thread (371 days before you)?

[TheDcoder]

More than a year later I am no where better than I was at Post #1, lol . Still struggling to navigate through Microsoft's documentation for WMI COM API, I might try Script-o-matic, at the moment I cannot recall what I was looking to do with WMI.
