Yeah, I'm new.

I just started using autoit yesterday and I love it! But I dont quite have the experience that I'm sure you all do.

Ok, I'm trying to make a program that people enter the website that they would like to access and autoit automatically pings that website (to get around filters), opens Browser, and inputs that ping result. but i cant find a way to make it copy that address since i cant click or copy anything from cmd. anyone got any ideas? I'm sure I can complete it after I find a way around this problem...

Here is what I have so far:

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")

Sleep (500)

Send ("{Lwin}")

Sleep (10)

Send ("{r}")

Sleep (50)

Send ("ping ")

Send ($var)

Send ("{enter}")

Why not check the ip with AutoIt instead of dos?? But if you really want to use a ">" to redirect the command to a file or use StdoutRead()

Ehhh.... because I dont know how? (just started yesterday) If you could enlighten me on how to do that I would be eternally grateful...

This is one way that might do what you have asked for

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site or IP Address that you are trying to access.")
InetGet("http://" & $var & "/","result.htm")
ShellExecute("result.htm")

Maybe try TCPNameToIP() ???

Dont know how to use it yet but I'm looking into it, thanks for the help

[TomZ]

Run(@ComSpec & " /c ping www.site.com >> ip.txt", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

Will output the result of the ping command to ip.txt.

Thanks so much for your help guys, I completed the script.

here it is:

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
Run ("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5\firefox.exe")
Sleep (1000)
Send ("{tab}")
Send ("{tab}")
TCPStartup()
Send (TCPNameToIP($var))
Send ("{enter}")

You may have to change the second line depending on your browser.

This would be a little simpler and wouldn't depend on the browser or path to it

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.");eg www.google.com
ShellExecute($var)

[jdisme]

Ok. now that I know a little about shellexecute works how could I work that into the script?

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
TCPStartup()
(TCPNameToIP($var))
ShellExecute ($var)

^---- does not work

[AdmiralAlkex]

First of all you dont save the value from TCPNameToIP, second you have a couple of paranthesis around your TCPNameToIp which there shouldn't be in the way you use it and third of all you cant ShellExecute() a ip-address, that will only give an error from windows about unknown application.

I created a quick working example (dont forget to change the first variable)

$IE = "C:\Program\Internet Explorer" ;change this to where you have Internet Explorer installed
$Website = InputBox("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
TCPStartup()
$TcpIp = TCPNameToIP($Website)
ShellExecute("iexplore.exe", $TcpIp, $IE)

[jdisme]

can i make it bring up their default browser instead of IE?

What is wrong with the simpler

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.");eg www.google.com
ShellExecute($var)

that I suggetsed?

If you enter, for example, www.google.com then it works fine for me, and it uses the default browser.

I think he has a filter wich blocks by URL, not by IP

$Website = InputBox("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
TCPStartup()
$TcpIp = "http://"&TCPNameToIP($Website)
ShellExecute($TcpIp)
TCPShutdown()

But this works only for pages with a real IP, not Virtual Servers .

Oh thanks ProgAndy, I didn't understand that was what a filter did.
