Profile name may not be the same as SSID!

[Leeroy]

basically the script just executes netsh wlan show profile name=[SSID] key=clear

The profile name may not hold the same value as the SSID! Sometimes the SSIDs have unspecific names and I don't know what I'm connected to. So I rename them to something useful in Manage wireless networks.

The SSID is useful too, so we shouldn't just discard it and replace with Profile. That means introducing a choice...

And God forbid if the Profile name has special characters in it, such as double-quotes ", hashes #, dashes - or UTF8 characters:

• cmd - How to escape hash symbol(#) in netsh command - Stack Overflow
• windows - How to use netsh to delete a profile with UTF8 characters? - Super User

Is there any way to tell them apart though? I.e. if you can get the SSID using another method?

[Leeroy]

I fixed it in wifi-password after all, made more sense there: akaleeroy/wifi-password@f5634ee wifi-name remains the same, returning SSID, and wifi-password/lib/win.js derives the profile name from the SSID.
