You can read iit from a Registry Key, I just don't recall the path to locate it. And I believe that the path depends on the OS.

Here is the command:
RegistryReadKey>root_key,key,entry,result_variable

Here is a path from a WIN98SE:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0000

The root_key is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
The key is "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0000"
The entry is "IPAddress"

But the last section of the key "0000" really depends on another Registry setting. There can be more than one folder under NetTrans. You need to go to another key first to locate the default that you need to open.

I think you will find that information under NetClient vs. NetTran.

So you would first Read the Registry under NetClient and get the value of the NetTrans\SubName.. I think the value is in the key for Default. Make that value a varialble in place of the "0000".

Then Read the Registry againg using that variable on the end of the root key

Sorry I can't be more specific, but perhaps you already know the Registry values to look for, or someone else on the forum will come through with the specifics.

There may only be one value under NetClient, in which case the original path I provided may work without any additional coding.

gave me the right idea to get the data I need

Label>GetIP
Run Program>cmd /c ipconfig > C:\ip.txt
Let>IPFile=C:\ip.txt
ReadLn>IPfile,8,line
MidStr>%line%,45,15,IPline
If>%IPline%IPfile,9,line
MidStr>%line%,45,15,Subline
ReadLn>IPfile,10,line
MidStr>%line%,45,15,Gateline
MessageModal>%Gateline%

Before your Run Program line I would advise that you add Let>RP_WAIT=1. This will make sure that the script will wait for the command in the Run Program line to finish before continuing. Otherwise you could find that your text file doesn't yet exist when you start reading it. You can also hide the Run Program DOS box that appears by using Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0:

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0
Run Program>cmd /c ipconfig > C:\ip.txt
etc etc

local IP-Adress

local IP-Adress

good idea
