Hi, Correct. >From the run dialog type cmd and press enter. When the command prompt loads type Ipconfig >c:\temp\test.txt and press enter. A file will be created in a temp folder called test.txt in my above example. Note the folder should be created first if it doesn't exist.
The key is the greater then symbol in front of the path. You can send the file anywhere IE >d:\text files\ip.txt If you wanted to automate it a little bit, you could create a batch file that runs the command ipconfig >drive:\foldername\filename.txt (use whatever you want) The batch file can even load notepad with the text file. create a shortcut on your desktop to the batch file. Each time you run the file the text file will get updated and notepad will run. The batch file could look like this. Ipconfig >c:\temp\test.txt Notepad c:\temp\test.txt Chris Window-Eyes Product Support Ai Squared 725 Airport North Office Park Fort Wayne, IN 46825 (802) 362-3612 www.aisquared.com -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Martha Reaney via Talk Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2015 5:36 PM To: [email protected]; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Windows 7 and ipconfig command FYI, If i use the command ipconfig | more then I can get to the IPV4 address that I am looking for, and then continue to press the enter key until I get to the end of the file and the prompt where I can type the command "exit" followed by pressing the enter key and the screen clears. When I do not pipe to more, I cannot seem to scroll down to get to the information that I need or to get to the end of the file, where I can enter the exit command... I recall that Chris G. also said that I could redirect the output of the ipconfig command to a file, as an option. I haven't tried this yet, but, I trust Chris G. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
