Obtaining IP address of machine by name

[xbonez]

How can I get AutoIt to lookup the IP address of a machine by name and send it to cliipboard?

I can easily do a nslookup of the machine name, and that displays the IP address, but just displaying the IP address on the screen isn't enough. I need the IP address to be on the clipboard, or a notepad file or some such thing.

Thanks

you want to capture the output with stdout.

here's how to perform a similar operation in vbscript

Like this?

$IP = @IPAddress1
ClipPut($IP)
