wmic find information and place them in another txt file

Question

I'm working on a code to search information. I use wmic for it.

1. I ask with WMIC the 'installed programs' and export them to tmp.txt
2. I want to filter tmp.txt and place the results in another text document.

But there is something wrong. I don't get the results for the computers in a txt file.

This is the code I created:

@echo off
title Check software
color 1f

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime  ^| find "."') do set dt=%%a
set YYYY=%dt:~0,4%
set MM=%dt:~4,2%
set DD=%dt:~6,2%
set HH=%dt:~8,2%
set Min=%dt:~10,2%
set Sec=%dt:~12,2%
set timestamp=Datum-%YYYY%%MM%%DD%--Tijd-%HH%%Min%%Sec%

set txt=results--%timestamp%.txt

if exist "1e-client" (
        echo Check: Map aanwezig
        goto :checkfolder
    ) else (
        echo Check: Map NIET aanwezig
        echo Map 1e-client maken...
        mkdir "1e-client"
        goto :checkfolder
    )

:checkfolder
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I in (list.txt) do call :pinger %%I goto :eof

:eof
move %txt% 1e-client
exit

:pinger

ping -4 -n 1 -w 1000 %1
if not errorlevel 1 set pingstatus=Ja
if errorlevel 1 set pingstatus=Nee
echo Computer: %1 >> %txt%
Echo Online: %pingstatus% >> %txt%
wmic /node:%1 /output:c:\tmp.txt product get name,version |findstr /c:"1E NomadBranch" c:\tmp.txt > %txt%

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 100 >nul
echo 1eClient Geinstalleerd: %client% >> %txt%
echo 1eClient versie; >> %txt%
type tmp.txt >> %txt%

Update. This is the list I that WMIC create. I need to find the "1E NomadBranch" and import that to the %txt% file.

Answer 1

I'd suggest you change

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I in (list.txt) do call :pinger %%I goto :eof

:eof
move %txt% 1e-client
exit

to

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I in (list.txt) do call :pinger %%I
move %txt% 1e-client
exit

because :eof is a special label meaning 'end of file`. It should not be assigned in a batchfile.

Also - it appears to have no purpose where it is. If you had coded

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I in (list.txt) do call :pinger %%I&goto :eof

then the batch should have terminated after processing the first line in list.txt. As it stands, goto should merely have become an unused second parameter to :pinger and :eof an unused third parameter.

Personally, I only ever use goto label (no colon) except for goto :eof (the special condition) to avoid this very problem.

I believe the actual cause of your problem is here:

Echo Online: %pingstatus% >> %txt%
wmic /node:%1 /output:c:\tmp.txt product get name,version |findstr /c:"1E NomadBranch" c:\tmp.txt > %txt%

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 100 >nul

This will echo whatever to the txt file, then run wmic and send its output to c:\temp.txt (since you specify /output) and send the screen output to findstr, which appears also to be reading c:\temp.txt which is probably open at the time... and to cap it all off, you are then redirecting the findstr output to a new txt (since you are using the create new redirector, >, not the append redirector, >>.

I'd suggest

Echo Online: %pingstatus% >> %txt%
wmic /node:%1 /output:c:\tmp.txt product get name,version 
findstr /c:"1E NomadBranch" c:\tmp.txt >> %txt%

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 100 >nul

... but I'll admit having not tested that.

Answer 2

This line below has an error - did you correct it?

Instead of this

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I in (list.txt) do call :pinger %%I goto :eof

use this (which assume no spaces etc in the terms)

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I in (list.txt) do call :pinger %%I&goto :eof

This assumes you only want to process the first line of list.txt
