Resolve IP via HostName

[ericbailey2]

I was curious if this was even possible through Auto-IT

I want to be able to save an IP address in a variable, by resolving the hostname.

So basically I can enter a users machine name in and then auto-it stores the users IP in a variable for later use.

Look in the help file for TCPNameToIp(), though I suspect that calls WINS/NetBIOS vice DNS. If you want DNS for sure, Run() with NSLOOKUP.exe and parse the output.
