When Apple disabled the airport command-line utility with macOS 14.4, it broke some of my scripts that needed to know the SSID of the current Wi-Fi network. wdutil was supposed to replace it, but some of the info it returns is redacted.
We can get the information we need from the system_profiler utility, and a little help from our friends awk and tr.
system_profiler SPAirPortDataType | awk '/Current Network/ {getline;$1=$1;print $0 | "tr -d ':'";exit}'
