So how to use findstr Regular Expression on Windows to collect BSSID from the result? I tried adb shell dumpsys wifi | findstr /r "[0-9a-f]{2}(:[0-9a-f]{2}){5}" but get nothing

Regular expression support by findstr is limited and does not support all features of regular expression implementation in Perl interpreter, or the regular expression class in Boost library, or what JavaScript RegExp object supports. They all support regular expressions in Perl syntax, but their implementations and features are different. Run in a command prompt window findstr /? to get displayed help of this console application and which regular expressions are supported by findstr.

But findstr is designed to output the line containing the found string and not just the found string. It would not make much sense for a non regular expression search in a file to output just the found string as it would be equal the search string, perhaps with the exception of case in case of using option /I and a search string containing letters.

Therefore I suggest to use command FOR to get just the MAC address written into a text file.

@echo off
rem Delete a perhaps already existing output file.

if exist MacAddress.txt del MacAddress.txt

rem Run command to get WiFi data, skip the first line of output, and
rem write to output file just the first data column with the MAC addresses.

for /F "skip=1" %%I in ('adb.exe shell dumpsys wifi') do echo %%I>>MacAddress.txt

For understanding the used commands and how they work, open a command prompt window, execute there the following commands, and read entirely all help pages displayed for each command very carefully.

  • del /?
  • echo /?
  • for /?
  • if /?
