So here is the idea,
I am trying to grab a variable from Cmd such as IPv4 and be able to ping it in a new window.
What would the logic be by running a command and grabbing a specific part of that command and be able to input it as a new vairable in a new command line so it can perform an action.
Another example :
- Find computer name.
- Run command to a number at the end of the Computer name.
I am currently downloading Visual Basics software as it looks like it may be the language i may need but very confused.
Does anyone have any basic idea as to what i can use or have an example of this ?
You can try something like that :
@Echo off
Color 0A & Mode con cols=80 lines=15
