echo wireless mac address to a file

[RabbieBurns]

ive got a script that echos %machinename% and %date% to a text file, but Id like to also include the wirless mac address if possible too..

 

Is it possible?

[mac_shinobi]

what scripting method are you using ie php ?

[RabbieBurns]

dos command line

 

echo %machinename% %time% >> blah.txt

 

Ive got it at the minute just dumping the entire ipconfig /all output to a file, but wouldnt mind just the mac address

 

Is there a way to do it with the net sh command?

[mac_shinobi]

use the find command something like

 

ipconfig/all | find "Physical Address"

 

maybe replacing Physical Address with wireless ??

Hi,

 

Have a look at Getmac

 

and this page

 

How to get MAC address from command line / batch file in Vista? - microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin | Google Groups

 

or just type getmac /? at the CMD prompt to see if you have it already.

 

they should help.

 

regards,

Giving an old thread a bump.

 

I've used getmac to output to a text file.

Here's the command I used:

getmac /FO CSV /NH>c:\%computername%.txt

 

and here's the output:

"40-61-86-07-16-00","\Device\Tcpip_{8677B475-2070-4AFE-8EFD-D8ABE83A3C17}"

"08-00-27-00-04-C3","\Device\Tcpip_{B6BA71F4-66D0-4965-AFCE-FD065B7129AB}"

 

What command do I use to add the computer name to the end of the output? e.g.

"40-61-86-07-16-00","\Device\Tcpip_{8677B475-2070-4AFE-8EFD-D8ABE83A3C17}","mypc"

"08-00-27-00-04-C3","\Device\Tcpip_{B6BA71F4-66D0-4965-AFCE-FD065B7129AB}","mypc"

 

Thanks

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

getmac /FO CSV /NH>c:\%computername%temp.txt

SET name=%computername%

REM Line count required
SET LineCount=0

REM Read from file. value  will read 2 lines
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('TYPE "c:\%computername%temp.TXT" 2^>NUL') DO (
SET /A LineCount+=1
rem ECHO Read "%%A" with a LineCount of !LineCount!
SET Value!LineCount!=%%A
IF /I !LineCount! EQU 2 GOTO DoneReading
)

:DoneReading
ECHO %Value1%,"%name%" > c:\%computername%.txt
ECHO %Value2%,"%name%" >> c:\%computername%.txt

REM Tidy dummy file
DEL c:\%computername%temp.txt

 

should do what you want.

All the years I've been doing ipconfig /all and trawling back up through the millions of extra adapters Vista etc spit out, can't believe I never knew about getmac. Cheers all

Never heard of getmac thanks for the headup.
