I have a batch script, it does a find, then saves the results as test.txt
What would I have to do to get it to save as a slightly dif name like test1.txt, so it doesn't overwrite my other file.

I could be completely wrong and just a guess here, but have you ever tried changing test.txt to test1.txt ?

Also, if you don't want overwriting but appending, change > to >>

Mmm you could use telnet, although that can't be automated without some 3rd party software. Your best option is to download WGET. Example usage,

Hmmmm would it be possible to write a script to navigate to the page and save the page as a text file?

Here you go, simple little program i wrote to grab any i.p address from whatismyip.com and save it to a text file in the same location as this file is ran from.

Ive included the exe and i have also pasted the source below.

So basically what i already supplied him with? Rolling Eyes

Indeed, though I don't think he understands it's not possible to do without an external tool. Razz

yeah i guess, i dont know of any way to automate it using a batch file only.

Micah · Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2008 8:33 pm Post subject:

I knew batch couldn't do it, I wanted to know what language could.

I wanted to know if it was possible, I have made a few things in C++ before, it is perfectly fine if I have to write something in C++.
I do need WAYYYY more knowlege of C++ though.... All I know is the easy stuff, and I don't know what #includes I have to have for alot of things....

Thanks for the example in C++.

My apologies then.. your question wasn't very clear. The example SXGuy posted above was written for use with AutoIt, google "c++ whatismyip" for an implementation in c/c++ using sockets. You might want to try a socket class to simplify things, and you can find a good sockets guide here.

Well considering Autoit is written in c++ but uses its own language to define its wrappers, pretty much anything it does can be back engineered to c++ again, just takes looking at the includes and recreating it.

So heres the two functions included in INET.au3 that i used, hopefully you can recreate it in c++

ok, it's like this:

Micah, whatismyip.com shows your WAN ip (Global), which is how people use to trace you. but it is just a IP your Router (unless you're Wired) generates you (unless it's not being changed).

it is used to so the internet will identify you.

ipconfig shows your LAN ip (Local Network), which is just a stupid IP your network card generates you and that's how the Router (unless you're wired) identify you.

Also remember that http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp just displays your global i.p address as raw text.

So if you know of a way to save html or all text from a website to a text file, just use that link, it will only display your i.p and no other junk html code.
