I guess I have a learning curve ahead of me, as I have occasional
need to know what my IP is. It doesn't change all that often, but I
can never seem to remember it. For my purposes, I'd like a routine
that would simply grab the IP and stuff it into the clipboard long
enough to paste it where I need it. Right now every time I want to
know my IP, I have to fire up mIRC and note the IP it gives me when
my computer connects to the IRC server. It would be much better if I
could just grab that information through the net plugin and use it on the fly.
Unfortunately, I haven't paid much attention to all the plugin
discussions here. My uses of PPro are pretty vanilla compared to
what's possible. I've just downloaded the net plugin and will try to
see if I can figure it out by myself. I would, however, appreciate
any tips the gurus here can give me about getting that information to
the Windows clipboard.
