ScottDavis ScottDavis Lurker Registered: 2005-02-11 Posts: 3	Folks, I want to semi-automate an "Add Route" on one WinXP client. Let me walk you through it, step by step..? 1) Launch VPN to remote site. VPN interface will be assigned address 10.0.0.123, for example. Assume "Use Default Gateway on Remote Network" is NOT selected. 2) Internal network at remote site is 192.168.21.x/24. 3) I manually add a route, using "Route Add 192.168.21.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.123" and I'm happy. Keeping in mind that 10.0.0.123 is dynamically assigned and often changes, I'm looking to automate step #3. I can "ipconfig > ipconf.txt", then "grep 10.0.0 ipconf.txt" which returns one line, such as: IP Address. . . . . . 10.0.0.123 IF I could ltrim (or rtrim?) that to output JUST 10.0.0.123 in a text file, how can I script the "Route Add 192.168.21.0 mask 255.255.255.0 INSERT VALUE HERE" from the file..? I know what I want to do, but I suck at bashing the code. No attention span. If there's a more elegant solution than dumping to text, greping that to another text, trimming that text and piping it INTO a script, I'd love to see how it could be done. So, worst case, if someone could help me: 1) trim the "ipconf.txt" file and 2) Show me an example of how to use contents of a text file as input into a script .. I'll be working, despite how ugly it'll be.. Thanks, VM, everyone! -- Scott.

Hee, Les beat me to it but here's my take:

Code:


break on

$output = "c:\ipconf.txt"

shell '%comspec% /c ipconfig | findstr /i "10.0.0" >$output'

$ip = "not found"

if exist($output)
 if open(1, $output) = 0
  $ip = readline(1)
  if $ip
   $ip = trim(split($ip,":")[1])
  endif
  $= close(1)
 endif
endif

?"ip=" $ip

exit 0

You don't need to send to to a test file either. You can pipe it back to KiX with one of several pipe UDFs. You also don't need to use GREP when FIND is built in.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Could you not just use the KiX @IPaddressX macro? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Shawn, Do you prefer FINDSTR over FIND? Would not your method not also return the DG? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Thinking though that since it will return only the first occurence of the ip, the DG will be ignored. idk
