ending Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Ok, I've got everything working fine except for some reason I cannot parse out a carrage return no matter what. What I'm doing is using the net localgroup command in DOS to get the computer's workgroup name. Here's the code:$pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c net localgroup","",@SW_HIDE,"2") While 1 $line = StdoutRead($pid) If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop If StringLeft($line,14) = "Aliases for \\" Then $localname = StringStripCr(StringAddCr(StringTrimLeft($line,14))) ExitLoop EndIf WEnd FileWrite("testoutput.txt",$localname) I made it output to a file so you could see the extra carrage return. It doesn't show up when you display it in a message box. I've tried everything from StringTrimLeft to StringStripWS and StringStripCR. All seemed to add in extra characters. Any sort of help on this, or even another method of grabbing the computer's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruge Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Welcome to the forums! "Net Localgroup" gives you the groups present on the local machine, not the workgroup the machine is in. You can parse this information from "Net config workstation", or better yet, read it from the registry. Look at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultDomainName [font="Tahoma"]"Tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties"[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ending Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 MsgBox(0, "@ComputerName", @ComputerName) Works wonders. Thank you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
