| | Hostname -> IP Address Any ideas on how best to get the IP address of a hostname, using VBScript? Right now I'm exec'ing a ping command, which gives output like this: =============================================== H:\>ping cmp092 Pinging cmp092.example.com [167.190.237.59] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 167.190.237.59: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Reply from 167.190.237.59: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 167.190.237.59: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 167.190.237.59: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Ping statistics for 167.190.237.59: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms =============================================== I iterate through line for line, find the one that starts with "Pinging" and then use a regex to pull out the IP address into a collection. Any better ideas? -todd |
