Pull all AP names from a Cisco WLC easily

How to collect AP Names from a Cisco WLC So if you are running into this, you've likely have already worked with spreadsheets that help auto-populate commands.  It's pretty simple to create these but I'll give you a little screenshot of a basic use of this in Excel. Put the AP name in A1 of Excel Then create a colum with =CONCATENATE("config ap primary-base NAME-HERE  ",A1, " 192.168.1.1") This will create the command of "config ap primary-base APNAME1 192.168.1.1" You can then fill in A2, A3 with the rest of the names.  This is useful if you are pulling AP's from one controller to another. This allows you to create a command list to make instant changes by cutting and pasting into SecureCRT, Putty or whatever your program of choice is. The first area in black would be the WLC Domain name (WLC01-5520) and the second black part would be the IP (192.168.1.1) as an example.
