[Gambas-user] Obtain my IP with Gambas

[Steven James Drinnan]

Sorry here is a revised one with a wan IP lookup

DIM mycmd AS String
DIM myIP AS String
DIM myWanIP AS String

'returns the ip of a particular device replace eth0 with the name of the
device
mycmd = "ifconfig eth0| grep -w 'inet addr'| cut -d: -f2| awk '{print
$1}'"
'mycmd = "ifconfig| grep -w 'inet addr' | grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d:
-f2| awk '{print $1}'"
SHELL mycmd TO myIP
PRINT myip

'You need wget to get this from the internet.
'mycmd = "wget www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -q"
'using whatismyip
mycmd = "wget www.sjdsoft.hk/getip.php -O - -q" 'using my webserver
(seems faster based in Hong Kong)


SHELL mycmd TO myWanIP
PRINT myWanIP
