 Post subject: MAC Address
PostPosted: November 30th, 2009, 10:56 pm 
Hi
I've searched the forum and found a few ways to find the MAC Address of a LAN card, but they all involve ipconfig /all > file.txt then searching the file.

Is it possible to do this, but send the results to a array(variable) and then filter/search that ?? so no file is written and the work is done in memory ?

Thanks in advance.

Another method.

Still writes a file but deletes it so fast you'd never know it was ever written.

Code:
RunWait, %comspec% /c ""ipconfig" "/all" >"%A_Desktop%\macInfo.txt"",,Hide
    FileRead, fileInfo, % A_Desktop "\macInfo.txt"
    Loop, Parse,fileInfo, `n, `r
   {
   if A_LoopField contains Physical Address
       {
       StringTrimLeft, macAdd, A_LoopField, 44
       FileDelete, % A_Desktop "\macInfo.txt"
       Break
       }
   }
Msgbox, % "MAC ADDRESS: " macAdd

Thanks for the replies.

got this working using TLM's example, would prefer for this to be done in memory, I don't understand how to do it !

If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Did you see the example jaco0646 linked to? It basically runs bat commands, stores and 'calls' the value to (now dont quote me) the environment variable %0

I'm still trying to figure out how to store the value to the current script instance.

Its not obvious but way easier than the functions method (plus no external lib needed ;)).



Will report back if I figure it out.
