IsInIPRange Function
|
hi everyone, i'm new to kixtart and i'd like to ask a few questions if anyone would be so kind to answer, i've recently been creating a script to define default printers across a network of 18 remote centres, thing is i'm new to all this and the function i'd like to use i dont understand, the function is the isiniprange one, i dont understand how the dependencies work and what i need to do to create the script so that it'll check the local machines ip address against that defined in the array of said function, anyway thats quite a lot to read so i'll leave it with you guys if you dont mind, thanks for any help you might be able to give me guys,
Anth

Re: IsInIPRange Function

That's a first, Jooel admitting that he doesn't get a UDF. Maybe we should convert it into the next KiXGolf challenge? Make IsInIPRange smaller and remove the dependencies?
Anyway, I think the UDF is straight-forward. However, I also wrote it
![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif){kind=icon}
First of all, please read TCP/IP Primer, Part I - IP Addresses to refresh your TCP/IP network knowledge.
Secondly, you'll need to include IsInIPRange and it's two dependiencies in your script as e.g. described in How to use UDFs .
Finally, you feed the IP address and an array of networkIDs/subnets into the UDF and you will get a return statement indicating whether the IP address is part of the network. Please implement the example provided in the function header to see how it works.

thanks guys, you've given me a bit of insight into kix, and i feel a little more confident now, and now i'm just gonna have to play about with my script and include the necessary functions (of which i wasnt sure i had to do before), so many thanks guys and if i ever see you out sometime just tap me on the shoulder and i'll buy you a drink.

well, from the function example I can tell:
; DEFAULTPRINTER
; To retrieve local machines IP address and cross reference it against a set of defined subnets
;
; AUTHOR Anthony Alderson
;modified 25.4.2003 by Lonk
CALL "isiniprange.kix"
;and it's requirements:
CALL "binaryip.kix"
CALL "ipmask.kix"
CALL "isinsubnet.kix"
if isiniprange('@IPADDRESS0','192.168. 12. 0/255.255.255. 0') ;ragworth
? "you stink"
ELSE
? "guess you dont stink after all"

Re: IsInIPRange Function

The CALLs to the UDFs are too optimistic. You should also combine them into one file and use a UDF extension.
CALL "binaryip.kix"
CALL "ipmask.kix"
CALL "isinsubnet.kix"
CALL "isiniprange.kix"
Could become:
CALL @ScriptDir+'\IPLibrary.udf'

Re: IsInIPRange Function

Hmm, there's a reason why there's an example part in the function header
And I believe it should also handle the spaces in the IP addresses, too.

Re: IsInIPRange Function

thanks lonkero, i've tried your revised script but it doesnt work at present, simply telling me it expects an expression in line 13 which is the 'if isiniprange.......'
not sure why its doing as i'm inexperienced at this but shouldnt i split up my @ipaddress0 and the range i'm looking in somehow. oh and i've drunk half the bottle lads so we need quicker responses lol, but cheers all of you anyway for helping me out,

Re: IsInIPRange Function

yeah jens i saw that, so if i try it using your example and calling in the outside udf's at the start you think i could tweak it to set the printer up, oh and by the way you're so bloody vague with your replies i can hardly see them on screen lol,
cheers,

Re: IsInIPRange Function

anthony, make sure the calling lines are proper.
I might suggest you do:
code:in this situation if script run during logon, they have to be in the same dir as logonscript.CALL @scriptdir+"\isiniprange.kix"
;and it's requirements:
CALL @scriptdir+"\binaryip.kix"
CALL @scriptdir+"\ipmask.kix"
CALL @scriptdir+"\isinsubnet.kix"
the expression error suggests right that, the load has failed.

Re: IsInIPRange Function

Since you're only checking for a single subnet, the IsInSubnet() should suffice. IsInIPRage is for cases where you have to check for one of many subnets. We e.g. have three separate subnets for VPN connections.
code:$ipaddress=@IPADDRESS0
$subnet='192.168.12.0/255.255.255.0'
; or
; $subnet='192.168.12.0/24'
if IsInSubnet($ipaddress,$subnet)
; is in subnet
else
; sorry
endif

Re: IsInIPRange Function

oh sorry jooel, i'll post the full code monday morning and let you have a look, thanks for all your help though, i think all i was doing wrong was just not calling the dependencies in correctly (by not including the full path) other than that i simply used your approach and then created a select-case to fill in 18 centres worth, the codes only been tested locally but i'll be testing it this week in each of our centres and i'll let you all know how it goes.

Re: IsInIPRange Function

Put the list of centers into an .INI file and read it fromt here. Then you can cycle through them and you can easyly adapt your code. example:
code:; .INI file
[192.168.0.0]
Call=function1
[192.168.1.0]
Call=function2
code:$networkids=split(readprofilestring('file.ini','','')
$id=0
$done=0
do
if isinsubnet(@IPADDRESS0,$networkids[$id]
$function=readprofilestring('file.ini,$networkids[$id],'Call')
$rc=execute('$rc='+$function+'()')
$done=1
endif
until $id>ubound($networkids) or $done
if not $done
; unidentified network
endif

Re: IsInIPRange Function

thanks for the hint jens, i think i will do that in future but for now i'm happy to leave it as is, the code runs fine and takes but a second or two to complete its cycle, but i will do that in a future script, maybe when i begin to revise this one, but thanks again jens, and thanks for all your help with the code itself,
