Re: parsing windows ipconfig /all

What have you tried?

I've never had need to parse the output other than with my eyes but it doesn't sound especially difficult. Here is a sample output from my office desktop...

C:\Users\user\Perl>ipconfig /all

Splitting each line by ' : ' then removing the full stops from the and of the first part and the line break from the end of the second part and you should be done.

Also note that the output of ipconfig is translated from English to what Microsoft thinks() is the local language. Good look getting that to work on all non-english versions. () Perhaps one should register a new IETF language tag de-MI (German as translated by Microsoft) in addition to de-DE, de-AT, de-CH, given the significant differencess to de-DE, de-AT, and de-CH. ;-) Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply]

the output of ipconfig is translated Example output can be read at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipconfig (in the text) and at https://www.router-faq.de/?id=win10&win10=ipconfig (screenshots).

Also note that the output of ipconfig is translated from English... As an Englishman, I've never had the pleasure(!?!) of digging into a non-English version of Windows. Many years ago, before the days of roaming on my mobile, I used Turkish versions during regular visits to Istanbul in internet cafes and side rooms off hotel lobbies. That was quite instructive for improving my Turkish as I recognised the location of the buttons and menu items but had to translate them for them to be useful.	[reply]
