 |
|
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
| Code: | | msgbox %computername% |

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 |

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 |

Win+R, cmd{Enter}, set{Enter}, you get all the names and their values...
