+iwlist wlan0 scan | python iwlistparse.py
+
+Sample output:
+
+7E:85:2A:A6:C0:D8 - 2.412 GHz (Channel 1) - 30/70  Signal level=-80 dBm - xfinitywifi
+DC:EF:09:83:B9:E3 - 2.412 GHz (Channel 1) - 70/70  Signal level=-38 dBm - NETGEAR46
+
+You can use the watch command to continuously run it -

+
+If you would like it to modified to be in a more consumable/queryable format (ie CSV or SQL)
