I know there will already be a description of this somewhere in the forum, but I ahven't been able to find it.

Can someone please tell me how to retrieve the "Full computer name"?
i.e. MY COMPUTER - PROPERTIES - COMPUTER NAME


In this example - I want:
305-142-02.capitan.mala.bc.ca

I would like to store it - and use it in a script.

Thank you
Jason

BTW - I really love AHK - hat's off to you guys

There is a built-in Windows variable for that

Hi

I really like the %computername% command - but where do you find out about this?

I searched the help-file but it doesn't look like it has this in it.

Is there one to tell me the "Log on name" of the current user?

I would like to record it - as part of a questionnaire

Thank you

Jason

Hi

Sorry to waste your time - I found it:

Msgbox %A_UserName%

Thanks anyway

There are several built-in variables which are automatically set. In the manual, they are at Variables and Expressions. It contains the user name as well. I am not sure, maybe for all, you no longer need the a_ prefix. Computername is listed, for example, as a_computername.

I always think you should inform people when you are collecting data such as this, and ask their permissions.

Best,

Bob
