Sure would be nice if you could just copy/paste the code above....

Ok, tested the above code and it did work as expectd for me. [Wink] 


Break On
$HOST = "@WKSTA"
$TEMP = "%temp%\ping.txt"
SHELL '%COMSPEC% /c ping $HOST -n 1 | find /i "TTL" >"$TEMP"'
$IP = ""
If Open(1,$TEMP) = 0
 $Line = ReadLine(1)
  If $Line
   $IP = SubStr($Line,12,InStr($Line,":")-12)
  EndIf
  $= Close(1)
EndIf
?"IP=" $IP
Exit 1
