_WMI_InstancesOf_v2.25

[ripdad]

This function (version 1), was developed solely for applications I needed it for.
It was only tested with Class names that was needed in those scripts.

And so, I didn't want to release it by itself because I knew it needed some more
work before I did that.

Recently, I delved back into it after several years and am now releasing version 2,
which was mostly rewritten over the past several weeks.

What does it do? It retrieves the properties and values pertaining to your computer,
operating system and devices. All you need is a valid Win32 Class Name.

So, here it is -- let me know if you have any issues!

I tested the class string:
Win32_NTLogEvent WHERE Logfile="System"
and it returns an error because file is in Logfile. Oh well.


Edit: fixed in v2.11

Updated to v2.11
- Fixed a problem with WHERE statement strings
- Now supports horizontal arrays

Examples:

#include 'array.au3'
#include '_WMI_InstancesOf_v2.11.au3'

; Example 1 - vertical array

Local $rtn = _WMI_InstancesOf('Win32_OperatingSystem', 1)
Local $nError = @error
If IsArray($rtn) Then
    _ArrayDisplay($rtn)
Else
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Error: ' & $nError & @CRLF & $rtn)
EndIf
Exit

#include 'array.au3'
#include '_WMI_InstancesOf_v2.11.au3'

; Example 2 - horizontal array

Local $sClass = 'Win32_NTLogEvent WHERE Logfile="System"'
$sClass &= ' And EventCode="6005"'
$sClass &= ' And TimeGenerated>"20160101000000.000000-000"'; date range start (get month, December 2016)
$sClass &= ' And TimeGenerated<"20170101000000.000000-000"'; date range end + 1
Local $NoBlanks = 0; include blank values
Local $nHorizontal = 1; return horizontal array ($NoBlanks = 0, must be used)
Local $nStatement = 1; get these properties only
Local $strProperty = 'ComputerName|EventCode|EventIdentifier|TimeGenerated'
Local $rtn = _WMI_InstancesOf($sClass, $NoBlanks, $nHorizontal, $nStatement, $strProperty)
Local $nError = @error
If IsArray($rtn) Then
    _ArraySort($rtn, 0, 1, 0, 3); <- sort by date column (user dependent)
    _ArrayDisplay($rtn)
Else
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Error: ' & $nError & @CRLF & $rtn)
EndIf
Exit

#include 'array.au3'
#include '_WMI_InstancesOf_v2.11.au3'

; Example 3 - horizontal array

Local $strProperty = 'Name|NetConnectionID|Manufacturer|NetConnectionStatus'
Local $rtn = _WMI_InstancesOf('Win32_NetworkAdapter', 0, 1, 1, $strProperty)
Local $nError = @error
If IsArray($rtn) Then
    _ArrayDisplay($rtn)
Else
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Error: ' & $nError & @CRLF & $rtn)
EndIf
Exit

Updated to v2.25 - see first post

This should be it, unless someone has a suggestion or problem with the script.
