Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Here's how to do it Use the function the link points to to pull back the IP address : $ping=Ping(%clientname%,1) Then you can use the SPLIT command in kix 4.x to split the IP address up into octets and grab the one you want. As Jpols says, it does not work on win9x though....

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	and btw, if you check it out, you can see that it uses: shell '%Comspec% /q /e:1024 /c for /F "tokens=2 delims=[]" ... so it does it with shell too and even uses temp file, which I would want to disclude. anyway, when using this UDF, you don't need to code it yourself and you can just do ping()-calls. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Austin Austin Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-01-24 Posts: 439	correction it's $ping=Ping(%clientname%,1) $octetarray=split("$ping",".") $location=val($octetarray[1]) goto tsprtmap Thanks _________________________ Austin Henderson

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	austin, the tmp-file means, that it creates temporary file during execution, when the same can be achieved without... this just makes the function some 50 times slower. (not counted, but writing to disk is slow when all could be done in memory...) cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet
