Hardawre Profile script has messy output

[Jedininja]

Hey, this script is intended to make a profile of a workstation. It works well but the out put is messy and very hard to read. i am wondering if anyone knows how to organize the output to a file in a cleaner manor.

Code: Select all

Set mainmenu=h

:Hardawre Profile
IF EXIST %crc% ( ECHO Running Hardware Profiling Script...
(
WMIC BASEBOARD
WMIC BIOS
WMIC CPU
WMIC MEMORYCHIP
WMIC MEMPHYSICAL
WMIC CDROM
WMIC PRINTER
WMIC OS
WMIC NIC
WMIC SOUNDDEV
) > %hp% & CALL %hp% & GOTO %h% ) ELSE ECHO %dde% & PAUSE & GOTO %h%

any idea i have been playing with is to use the

Code: Select all

wmic get

command to retrieve data based on the table header, however i do not feel that this would work universally and meet needs of potential users as it is leaving out data which may be needed.

i have deduced the disorganization in the output file to column headers and columns content being different lengths, i however have no idea how to address that issue.

another idea for addressing this problem was to use the

Code: Select all

systeminfo

command first in the script and subtract that data contained in the

Code: Select all

systeminfo

output from the string of

Code: Select all

wmic

commands with

Code: Select all

wmic get

commands but it does not solve the messy output file..

Code: Select all

%crc%

is the path of the main script, %hp% is the path\filename ("hardware profile.txt"),

Code: Select all

%dde%

is an error message say the rootdir does not exist and

Code: Select all

%h%

is the main menu.

WMIC has several output formats. For example:

Code: Select all

wmic baseboard list /format:value

You can replace the word "value" with several other options, like htable. To see a list of potential formats, use this command:

Code: Select all

wmic baseboard list /format /?
