stdoutRead help

[Rav1 0]

Hey gang.  I have a script that I am working with that I pieced together (I'm learning) that I was hoping someone can help me with.  I am trying to read the ipconfig /all cmd window and get the dhcp server address.  The script works 80% of the time but occasionally the script returns the line below the dhcp server address.  

for example:

1.1.1.1

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . .>Exit code: 0    Time: 1.296

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Rav

Local $sPrinter = InputBox("Add Printer", "Enter the complete Iprint name of the printer to add.", "Enter Printer Name", "", _
             - 1, -1, 0, 0)
ipconfig()
Func ipconfig($lookfor = "DHCP Server")
    $cmd = Run(@Comspec & " /c ipconfig /all", "" , @SW_HIDE, 2+4)
    $Result = ""
    While 1
        $line = StdoutRead($cmd)
        If @error Then Return "Error"
        if StringInStr($line,$lookfor) then ExitLoop
    WEnd
    $Data = StringSplit(StringStripWS($line,7),$lookfor,1)
    $Data = StringSplit($Data[2],":",1)
    $Data = StringStripWS($Data[2],7)
    ;FileWrite("Y:\files\printer_install.bat", @CRLF & "iprntcmd.exe -a ipp://"&$Data&"/ipp/"&$sPrinter)
    ConsoleWrite($Data)
    Return $Data

EndFunc

Why not just write it out to a temp file and then parse that?

Pseudo, on my phone...

Run(@Comspec & " /c ipconfig /all >" & @TempDir & "\MyIP.txt")

[Exit 76]

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <String.au3>
$ipid = Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c ipconfig /all | find "DHCP-"', '', @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($iPID)
$aDHCP = _StringBetween(StdoutRead($iPID),": ",@LF)
MsgBox(262144, Default, $aDHCP[0], 0)

Nice reply Exit. I will attempt to do a little more with cmd by using a for loop.

$result = ipconfig()
ConsoleWrite($result & @CRLF)

Func ipconfig($lookfor = "DHCP Server")
    ; run cmd hidden with stdout
    Local $cmd = Run(@Comspec & ' /c @echo off & ' & _
     'for /f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=:" %# in (`ipconfig /all ^| find "' & $lookfor & '"`) do echo %#', "" , @SW_HIDE, 2 _
    )
    ; wait for the process to close
    ProcessWaitClose($cmd)
    ; return the result with each end trimmed of whitespace
    Return StringStripWS(StdoutRead($cmd), 3)
EndFunc

You can also use WMI for that, with >network.au3

#Include "Network.au3"
$aInfos = _GetNetworkAdapterInfos()
For $i = 0 To UBound($aInfos) - 1
    If StringInStr($aInfos[$i][20], ".") Then ConsoleWrite( "[" & $aInfos[$i][8] & "] DHCP Server : " & $aInfos[$i][20] &  @CRLF)
Next

are you just experimenting with stdoutread or are you interested in network parameters?

if you are intereste to network parameters then >also this link may be of interest:

with that udf you can retrieve some network parameters in this way for example:
(see comments inside the udf for details on returned values)
 

#include <array.au3>
#include "_NetworkStatistics.au3" ; get this from the following link:
; http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/151920-network-interface-info-statistics-and-traffic/?p=1088781

    Local $_net = _Network_IPAllAddressTable()
    _ArrayDisplay($_net)
