Thank you both for your replies. As you can imagine i'm not at all comfortable with batch files. I know how to create one from a txt file, but that's about it.
getip.bat doesn't work for me. Nothing happens. Even when i try this :
@echo off
for /F "usebackq tokens=14" %%i in (ipconfig ^| find /i "IPv4"
) do echo
%%i
pause
and launch the script manually, nothing happens in the dos window (except "hit a key to continue..." or something). Of course it doesn't work any better in Pd.
Is there something wrong with my version of windows? I have XP. By the way, when this works (i trust you!), do you think it'll work in any version of windows? Because i have XP but the friends i'm writing the game for have 7 of vista.

Hello Pierre,
you can get ip adress with windows cmd
In pd-extended there is [flatspace/popen] object for that,
you need to create a file called 'getip.bat' containing those lines:
@echo off for /F "usebackq tokens=14" %%i in (
ipconfig ^| find /i "IPv4"
) do echo %%iand then you can grab the ip adress from the computer you are in by sending [getip.bat< message to [popen] like this:
[getip.bat< | [flatspace/popen< |
<symbol box>
both patch and batch files must be in the same directory, or put the batch file into pd/bin to run it from anywhere

<lame-solution> Even if there's no shell/system object for windoes (I'm not using win so I cannot really answer) you can easily create a batch script (a windows shell script) that saves the output of ipconfig in a file. Then parse the file with pd and extract the ip from there.
It can even by dynamic in the sense that your shell script can be a sort of cron (linux scheduled jobs, I think are called sheduled services in win) and can run a number of times. Thus your game could see the file for the lastest IP.

Hi all,
Is it possible to get my computer's IP from inside Pd? I know it's possible in Linux using the shell object, but it doesn't exist in windows. I'm trying to make a game requiring two players to play on two different computers, and it'd be very annoying if each user had to find her IP before playing.
