Script to run c:\windows\system32\ipconfig.exe and either save it to a txt file or paste it into a memo and reply to sender.


I have a Lotus Notes @formula that I believe needs to contain 3 parts, but possibly two. Here is what I have...

Step 1: Gather Information: @Command([Execute]; "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\IPCONFIG.EXE"; "/ALL > C:\\IPINFORMATION.TXT")
Step 2: Place Information either into a memo as text or attach INFORMATION.TXT to memo
Step 3: Reply to sender.

I can get step 3, no problem. I can not get 1 to create the IPINFORMATION.TXT file with any combo of the commands, and needless to say I can not get anything to attach or input into a notes memo.

Anyone have any experience with this? It's for a helpdesk to send out as a stationery to people to gain required information and send back to the agent for noting reasons.

Thanks in advance.

Three suggestions:
    Step 1: @Command([Execute]; "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\IPCONFIG.EXE /ALL > C:\\IPINFORMATION.TXT")
or
    Step 0: Create a batch-file using script, that contains the command in step 1
    Step 1: execute the batch file
or
    Step 1: @Command([Execute]; "C:\\WINDOWS\CMD\CMD.EXE /C IPCONFIG.EXE /ALL > C:\\IPINFORMATION.TXT")

It can be easily done with java code...

There will be no messy command popups too

~Hemanth
@Command([Execute]; "cmd"; "/C IPCONFIG.EXE /ALL > C:\\IPINFORMATION.TXT")  works for me as the first paramater is the command (cmd.exe) and the second is it's paramaters including the redirection to a text file

Not very 'nice' way of doing it though really but if it does what is required...

I am going to accept the answer from dragon-it, though I am not going to be able to use it due to limitations placed on our edition of lotus notes (custom config). Thank you all for your answers.
Thanks.... a whole 50 points :-)
Would you have preferred a split then?
