Jim,



Whatever method you use, make sure you wrap it inside of a small Magic batch
program or a function. That way if the method you use to obtain an IP
address changes, the rest of your application will not know the difference.

Hi Jim,

With the ipconfig approach you need to parse the output if you want
just the IP address. The challenge is that the ipconfig output format
depends on IP configuration and Windows version.

As an alternative you can simply initialize or update a Magic variable
with the result of a Java method. The Java method you are looking for
(including the Java source and a one line Magic program calling this
method) can be downloaded from our website.

Just download the file callJava.zip from
http://www.magic2java.com/Calling_Java_Methods.html
. The included .exp files are V9 export programs that show you how to
call the Java methods. Extract the M2J.jar from the zip and include it
in the CLASSPATH (which can be done in your Magic.ini).

Erik

PS Another side benefit of the Java alternative over ipconfig is that
it keeps your Magic application logic portable to non Windows
platforms. Magic application logic that relies on net.get_ip is
portable to non Windows platforms (the M2J converter automatically
replaces your Magic application logic, including calls to net.get_ip
and the net.get_ip functionality with calls to appropriate Java code).
