IP Address/Emailing

[JSThePatriot]

Run(@tempdir & "\bmail.exe -s smtp.advances.net -t patriot@the-patriot.net -f admin@the-patriot.net -a IPAddress -b " & @ComputerName & " " & $nip)

I did that... hehe. It then only puts in my computer name. I have another idea... I am going to try to either put all of that in a variable that way it is only one thing, or I will write the information to a file and it will use a file for the body of the email One way or another this will behave.

I will let you know how I get along. Thanks for the thoughtful fix

This is the code I just tried...

While 1
   $nip = _TakeIP()
   If @error Then
      Sleep($pause)
      ContinueLoop
   EndIf
   If $nip <> $oip Then
    Fileinstall("bmail.exe", @tempdir & "\bmail.exe")
    Local $body
    $body = "This is " & @ComputerName & "'s IP Address: " & $nip
    Run(@tempdir & "\bmail.exe -s smtp.advances.net -t patriot@the-patriot.net -f admin@the-patriot.net -a IPAddress -b " & $body)
    Filedelete(@tempdir & "\bmail.exe")
   EndIf
   $oip = _TakeIP()
   Sleep($pause)
Wend

I want the body of the email to read as follows...

This is COMPUTERNAME's IP Address: IPADDYHERE

Right now the only way I can get it to work is without spaces. So it looks like one of the following...

ThisisCOMPUTERNAME'sIPAddress:123.123.123.123

or

COMPUTERNAME123.123.123.123

See? I just want it in an easy to read format. I cant seem to get that. Every thing disappears after the first space. Somehow I need to surround the whole thing after the variables have been turned into text and number in quotation marks (I think that would fix it, but I dont know how to do that).

My next step if I cant get it by itself or use a variable is to try and write the ComputerName and IP to a file with the appropriate body that I want and then use that as the body of the email since that is an option with bmail.

Thanks,

JS

give this a try... it will put double quotes around the text...:

$body = "This is " & @ComputerName & "'s IP Address: " & $nip
    Run(@tempdir & "\bmail.exe -s smtp.advances.net -t patriot@the-patriot.net -f admin@the-patriot.net -a IPAddress -b """ & $body & """")

Thank you bunches! I thought I had tried that earlier, but I did it with single quotes not doubles.

I also just tried @CRLF and just put the words on different lines that worked for just displaying the computer name and ip that way it wasnt jumbled. Now it looks nice. Thanks alot!

I notice you have 4 quotes at the end any reason for that? Edit:Never mind I see now Thanks alot! Now just to make sure it does it once a day or even maybe there is a way to check and just make it do it when the ip changes...

Thanks again,

JS
