Getting the name/IP address of a server the script is running from.

[yaos]

Here's what I tried.

Regular expression, which I can't even begin to understand.

I also tried the StringSplit function with @ScriptDir which returns correctly when run on my computer but does not work when running from the server, the array returns with multiple elements but they are all blank. I am using the correct forward slashes when I test on the server ( //servername/ ) . The @ScriptDir works correctly on the server, just not the StringSplit for some reason.

What I'm trying to do is find the server name, or IP address if there is no server name. For example, //coolserver/adirectory/anotherdirectory/lotsofdirectories and the server name would be "coolserver". I can then use the name to IP function to find the IP address if I need to do so.

Is there a simple way to get the server name that I passed over?

#Include <String.au3>

$sString = "\\SomeServer\SomeShare\SomeFolder"
$avPath = _StringBetween($sString, "\\", "\")

MsgBox(64, "Server", $avPath[0])

I tried so hard, but in the end it didn't even matter. Thank you very much.
