PNPUtil retrieve each driver and add to array with PSObject - arrays

Question

Using Powershell I retrieve all third party drivers installed using:
$PNPDrivers = PNPUtil /Enum-Drivers
The format of the information retrieved are as followed:
Microsoft PnP Utility
Published Name: oem19.inf
Original Name: apollolakesystem.inf
Provider Name: INTEL
Class Name: Systemenheter
Class GUID: {4d36e97d-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Driver Version: 07/18/1968 10.1.17.1
Signer Name: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
Published Name: oem20.inf
Original Name: avotonsystem.inf
Provider Name: INTEL
Class Name: Systemenheter
Class GUID: {4d36e97d-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Driver Version: 07/18/1968 10.1.3.1
Signer Name: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
I'm trying to make a foreach loop so that each driver are added to an array with PSObject so that I can fetch required information later on in the script.
I have tried so many combinations but never succeeded.
Right now I have tried a regex expression and group each row in order to specify each value but I don't get any data what so ever.
Below is the Regex expression I have used which seems to work?
After that I've tried to follow the information from this link: Parsing Text with PowerShell
Just changing the information to match my code:
$Pattern = "
^(?<PublishedName>Published Name:.*)
^(?<OriginalName>Original Name:.*)
^(?<ProviderName>Provider Name:.*)
^(?<ClassName>Class Name:.*)
^(?<ClassGUID>Class GUID:.*)
^(?<DriverVersion>Driver Version:.*)
^(?<SignerName>Signer Name:.*)
"
$PNPDrivers |
Select-String -Pattern $Pattern |
Foreach-Object {
# here we access the groups by name instead of by index
$PublishedName, $OriginalName, $ProviderName, $ClassName, $ClassGUID, $DriverVersion, $SignerName = $_.Matches[0].Groups['PublishedName', 'OriginalName', 'ProviderName', 'ClassName', 'ClassGUID', 'DriverVersion', 'SignerName'].Value
[PSCustomObject] #{
PublishedName = $PublishedName
OriginalName = $OriginalName
ProviderName = $ProviderName
ClassName = $ClassName
ClassGUID = $ClassGUID
DriverVersion = $DriverVersion
SignerName = $SignerName
}
}
But no data is printed out so I must be missing some but I don't manage to find what.
How can I do to retrieve the data and for each driver use it?
Second try
The code below gives me all values (I think) but it splits it to one row each.
I guess this is because it doesn't match all rexeg:s at the same time.
Can this be changed?
$Pattern = "(^(?<PublishedName>^Published Name:\s*([^\n\r]*)))|(^(?<OriginalName>^Original Name:\s*([^\n\r]*)))|(^(?<ProviderName>^Provider Name:\s*([^\n\r]*)))|(^(?<ClassName>^Class Name:\s*([^\n\r]*)))|(^(?<ClassGUID>^Class GUID:\s*([^\n\r]*)))|(^(?<DriverVersion>^Driver Version:\s*([^\n\r]*)))|(^(?<SignerName>^Signer Name:\s*([^\n\r]*)))"
$PNPDrivers |
Select-String -Pattern $Pattern -AllMatch |
Foreach-Object {
# here we access the groups by name instead of by index
$PublishedName, $OriginalName, $ProviderName, $ClassName, $ClassGUID, $DriverVersion, $SignerName = $_.Matches[0].Groups['PublishedName', 'OriginalName', 'ProviderName', 'ClassName', 'ClassGUID', 'DriverVersion', 'SignerName'].Value
[PSCustomObject] #{
PublishedName = $PublishedName -replace "Published Name: ",""
OriginalName = $OriginalName -replace "Original Name: ",""
ProviderName = $ProviderName -replace "Provider Name: ",""
ClassName = $ClassName -replace "Class Name: ",""
ClassGUID = $ClassGUID -replace "Class GUID: ",""
DriverVersion = $DriverVersion -replace "Driver Version: ",""
SignerName = $SignerName -replace "Signer Name: ",""
}
}
Third try
Almost there! So close!
You are the man postanote!
Since I am going to loop through a package of drivers in our SCCM enviroment working with [PSCustomObject] seems to be the right way to do it.
Although the problem that persists seems to be that some rows get "out of sync" and displays wrong value for the column.
Any thoughts on how to correct that?
Fourth try
Working code!!

$DriverVersion = $PSItem.Context.PostContext[5] -replace '.*:\s+'
$SignerName = $PSItem.Context.PostContext[6] -replace '.*:\s+'
}else{
$ClassVersion = "N/A"
$DriverVersion = $PSItem.Context.PostContext[4] -replace '.*:\s+'
$SignerName = $PSItem.Context.PostContext[5] -replace '.*:\s+'
}

$z = $List.Add($y)
}

Let's say you only what monitors then you can just do this, without using a PSCustomObject at all.
Clear-Host
(PNPUtil /Enum-Drivers /class Display |
Select-Object -Skip 2) |
Select-String -Pattern 'Monitors' -Context 3,4
# Results

The above response is from a similar to this one that I and others have already responded to.
Parse pnputil output to published name for specific class
Are you guys in the same course/class, or in the same company doing the same thing to see who can get there first? ;-}
If You want to get just one driver's info at a time, just change that filter string and cherry-pick the line you are after.
Yet, if you really, really, want to use [PSCustomObject], then you can still use the above and refactor to this.
Clear-Host
((PNPUtil /Enum-Drivers /class Display |
Select-Object -Skip 2) |
Select-String -Pattern 'Class Name:' -Context 3,4) |
ForEach {
[PSCustomObject]#{
PublishedName = $PSItem.Context.PreContext[0] -replace '.*:\s+'
OriginalName = $PSItem.Context.PreContext[1] -replace '.*:\s+'
ProviderName = $PSItem.Context.PreContext[2] -replace '.*:\s+'
ClassName = ($PSitem | Select-String -Pattern 'Class Name:') -replace '.*:\s+'
ClassGUID = $PSItem.Context.PostContext[0] -replace '.*:\s+'
DriverVersion = $PSItem.Context.PostContext[1] -replace '.*:\s+'
SignerName = $PSItem.Context.PostContext[2] -replace '.*:\s+'
}
}

Update as per your comment...
sometimes, some drivers apparently also displays a Class Version just
below Class GUID. When it does that row gets out of sync. Is it
possible to, I don't know, using a IF-statement that if PostContext[3]
exists change the order for the PostContext?
... and my response to it.
I played with this use case a bit more can refactored my code to address these potential custom/dynamic fields that can happen per driver.
On my system, I had two customer driver properties:
Extension ID
and
Class Version.
Context-wise, they in the same place, so, I addressed them that way. So, the code pulls the data and uses a custom field to hold the value of either or none. So, this means you need to first discover any such items, and alter the code as needed. Note: I used a Switch block to handle that and IF/then to finalize based on the fields needed in the case.
