GIP. Command
Get IP Address
Intention
Compute the IP Address of the actual computer. The code very simple:
GIP.
if multiple network cards, a index number can be given. Like this:
GIP.2
And this is how the stack will look in either case. The specific IP-numbers are just for example:
If you provide an host name/computer name, the command will translate the host name into the corresponding IP address. This can be a computer name from your network, as well as a internet resource. The code looks like this:
GIP.www.fa2.de
There is a second form of GIP. in which it can be used to translate a numeric IP address to a normal IP-address. Like this:
GIP.>16777343
and below you can see how the stack looks like.
The opposite will also work, to translate a normal IP address to a numeric IP-address. You just write it like this:
GIP.<127.0.0.1
The stack now shows the IP in numeric form.
In all these cases you can provide a variable as second parameter. Like this:
GIP.|$$RES
GIP.2|$$RES
GIP.<127.0.0.1|$$RES
GIP.>16777343|$$RES
Then the value thats on the TOS will not be placed on the stack, but into the provided variable.
Syntax
GIP.[P1][|P2]
Parameter Explanation
P1 - (optional) host name, computer name or name of a internet resource that can be computed to an ip address. If omitted the ip address of the actual computer is been returned.
P2 - (optional) variable for the result
There is a second mode in which GIP. makes conversions between the numeric and the conventional form of an ip address. In these cases P1 must be prefixed with a ">" to convert a numeric IP to a standard IP. And if you prefix P1 with a "<", followed by Standard IP, this one will be translated into a numeric IP.
