I'm creating a batch-file that executes a command once a specific WiFi network is available in the list of networks. I've managed to get the script working, but to accelerate the detection process (>3 minutes) I need to execute a wifi-scan again.

As the network detection process will happen in the background, using the solutions on a previous question won't work as the device needs to remain connected to a WiFi network during the process.

As far as I know this is not possible in CMD alone. My question is:

How can I scan for new WiFi networks in CMD using either

  • A native command
  • VB Script
  • A pre-compiled EXE

you can try Wireless net view by NirSoft

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_view.html

run it with the /scomma switch

[Save the list of wireless networks into a comma-delimited text file (csv).]

then do a for loop on the output file with a comma delimiter

for example: 

wirelessnetview /scomma wifi1.txt

for /f "delims=," %%x in (wifi1.txt) do if "%%x"=="myWifi" echo found
