Data Collection Script Using Python

Create a data collection script using Python for Windows. The Python script will execute the DOS shell command, “netsh wlan show all” and parse the output to get all visible wifi SSIDs, MAC addresses, and signal strengths. Insert statements will need to be constructed to insert this information to two tables in a database.
