What is my local IP Address(es)

[JoBu]

Not sure if you're still trying to solve this, but you can implement .vbs into rainmeter using the execute command.

I'm working on a skin that needs to parse variable text - my solution was to write a vbs and save it as a .txt file. I then wrote a .bat that runs off a rainmeter execute command that converts the txt to vbs, runs it and converts it back to a .txt file for future changes.

A little clunky, but it gets the job done. Hope it helps.

I, too, have several network adapters. I like to display my current valid IP address for whichever NIC is up (Wifi, Ethernet, dock, and even loopback). I am trying out a scheme where I automatically toggle through my adapters until I find one that does not start with 127, 169, or is empty. I then assume this is my currently active adapter and stop checking any other adapters. You can paste the code below into a new skin for testing.

This is an old thread, but I wanted to compliment your clever solution, gt57. The LAN IP issue has been nagging me for a while and I was glad to find an answer.

[StromKnight]

Definitely an old thread but here's an update to the illustro Network.ini to include the local IP address as well with Rainmeter 3.3B.

Enjoy Peeps, and make sure to check the LocalIPsetting, I believe it goes off your local IP adapter.

How to check wifi connection?

Code: Select all

[MeasureIPwifi]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=http://checkip.dyndns.org
RegExp="(?siU)Address: (.*)</body>"
StringIndex=1
UpdateRate=-1

if connected, then display the IP Address. Else, display "Disconnected"?

[balala]

if connected, then display the IP Address. Else, display "Disconnected"?

I'd use a SysInfo plugin measure. This plugin has two values for the SysInfoType option used to check if the computer is connected to LAN, respectively to internet.
For instance the following measure returns 1 if the computer is connected to LAN and -1 if it's not:

Code: Select all

[MeasureLAN]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=LAN_CONNECTIVITY

(if you'd like to check internet connectivity, replace the SysInfoType=LAN_CONNECTIVITY option with SysInfoType=INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY)
Accordingly to the returned value you should show up the IP address if the computer is connected or the Disconnected string otherwise. An IfCondition can be used to decide:

Code: Select all

[MeasureLAN]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=LAN_CONNECTIVITY
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#>0)
IfTrueAction=[!EnableMeasure "MeasureIPwifi"][!CommandMeasure "MeasureIPwifi" "Update"][!SetOption MeterText Text "%1"][!UpdateMeter "MeterText"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!DisableMeasure "MeasureIPwifi"][!SetOption MeterText Text "Disconnected"][!UpdateMeter "MeterText"][!Redraw]

Note that the above IfFalseAction disables the [MeasureIPwifi] measure if the computer isn't connected and enables it otherwise.
And the [MeterText] String meter, which shows up the IP address or Disconnected:

Code: Select all

[MeterText]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureIPwifi
X=0
Y=0
Padding=15,5,15,5
FontColor=220,220,220

This only checks things on skin refresh, due to the UpdateDivider=-1 and UpdateRate=-1 (the latter was present in your posted code, so I let it this way) in the corresponding measures. If you want to check it periodically, say every 5 minutes, you'd set UpdateDivider=5 in [MeasureWiFiSSID] and UpdateRate=300 (i.e. 5*60 sec) in [MeasureIPwifi], since the overall Update in the [Rainmeter] section is set to 1000 milliseconds (i.e. 1 second). Obviously, a change in the latter value requires a corresponding reevaluation of the UpdateDivider / UpdateRate values, to keep the update intervals of those two measures consistent / unchanged.

Take care that UpdateRate can't be negative. UpdateDivider yes, but UpdateRate not. Details: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=33606&start=40#p166347.

Yes, if you use UpdateRate=-1 that doesn't do what UpdateDivider=-1 does. What it does is cause a weird "wrap around" of the number being used as the "counter" for threaded measures like WebParser and Ping, and what you actually get is UpdateRate=SomeGiganticNumber, I'm don't remember what it is, something like the largest integer size of a 16-bit integer in C. Big... In any case, for all practical purposes the behavior is sorta what you expect, as the measure will update once, then not again for 1,000 years or something, but I don't recommend it. I think it makes more sense, in all cases, to leave UpdateDivider alone on those measures. Leave it as the default "1". Then set UpdateRate to something sensible for the behavior you want, or UpdateRate=86400 or some other large number (that is the number of seconds in a day) if you want it to execute once and then stop.

Oops, didn't know that. I just used the value I saw in the already posted code, I figured there was a good reason for it to be set this way. Guess I was wrong then...
