How to extract Index DDLs only

Question

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement to extract only the indexes defined in the database and move it to another file group in the database, I am unable to extract the indexes alone in the management studio, is there a way to do this with some tool.

You can also try PowerShell
https://sqlpowershell.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/powersql-generate-only-index-script-of-all-tables-or-specific-tables/
Save the below PowerShell script in F:\PowerSQL\IndexScript.ps1
PARAM
$server = $(read-host “Server”),
$instance = $(read-host “Instance – Default”),
$database = $(read-host “Database”),
$schema = $(read-host “schema (default schema dbo)”),
$tables = $(read-host “Tables (*)”)
$path = “sqlserver:\sql\$server\$instance\databases\$database\tables”
IF ($tables -eq ‘*’)
$tableset= gci -path $path | select-object name
foreach($t in $tableset)
$path1 = $path+”\dbo.”+$t.name+”\indexes\”
gci -path $path1 | %{$_.Script() | out-file f:\PowerSQL\index.txt -append; “GO `r`n ” | out-file f:\PowerSQL\index.txt -append; $_.Name;}
ELSE
{ $tableset =get-childitem $path -ErrorAction stop | where-object {$_.name -like “$tables”}
foreach($t in $tableset)
$path = $path+”\dbo.”+$t.name+”\indexes\”
gci -path $path | %{$_.Script() | out-file f:\PowerSQL\index.txt -append; “GO `r`n “| out-file f:\PowerSQL\index.txt -append; $_.Name;}
Load the module SQLPS and run the IndexScript.PS1 by passing parameters
PS F:\Powersql> sqlps
Microsoft SQL Server PowerShell
Version 10.50.1600.1

PS SQLSERVER:\> F:\PowerSQL\IndexScript.ps1
Server: ABCDSP18
Instance - Default: default
Database: Power
schema (default schema dbo): dbo
Tables (*): *
Output will be saved in 
f:\PowerSQL\index.txt
