Recommended Posts

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! :D

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

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

@Jos

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

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.

More than a year later I am no where better than I was at Post #1, lol :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.
