Using WinIpCfg and Using FileRead to Grab the Contents of the Results

Keywords: 	   WinIpCfg IP Address

---

Question:

I want to run WinIpCfg, then copy the contents of the results to the clipboard (I think it does it automatically, or you could do it with a Ctrl-C), then save that in a file, and grab out the Host Name, Physical Address, and IP Address. Can you help me set that up?

Answer:

Here's some sample code that extracts out the info you wanted:

myfile="c:\temp\test.txt"
keyword1="Host Name"
keyword2="Physical Address"
keyword3="IP Address"
hostname=""
physaddress=""
ipaddr=""

handle=FileOpen(myfile, "READ")
                      
   while 1
  
   line=FileRead(handle) 
   if line == "*EOF*"  then break
      a=strindexnc(line,keyword1,0,@fwdscan) 
      b=strindexnc(line,keyword2,0,@fwdscan)
		c=strindexnc(line,keyword3,0,@fwdscan)

		if a!=0
          hostname=line
      else
         if b!=0 
           physaddress=line
         else
			   if c!=0
				   ipaddr=line
					else
                 continue
				endif
			endif
      endif

   endwhile  

fileclose(handle)
