Capture multiline, multi-group to Powershell variables

Question

Ideally, I would like to create an object from ipconfig that allows us to drilldown to each adapter\'s attributes like this: $ip.$lan.$mac for the lan adapter\'s mac address

Answer 1

Another approach, if you want (1) an object and (2) something that should work in older versions of PowerShell, is to pull the network information using WMI:

$adapters = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration

$adapters | Format-Table Description,IPAddress,MACAddress

$enabled = $adapters | Where-Object{$_.IPEnabled -eq $true}

You can use the following to explore the full set of data that you get per adapter:

$enabled | Format-List *
