itdaddy itdaddy Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2006-12-19 Posts: 145 Loc: Wisconsin	Hello kix gurus, working on another project at work but I cannot get this array correct. What I want to do is I have 2 arrays one for the IP address and one for the MAC address of the PCs I am going to wake-up on command. I know I know some of you guys want me to use WMI but I have tried that and it is very slow compare to this shell command. So I am going with this hybrid setup. Okay my issue is I not sure how I can move thru the 2 lists of arrays and take IP and MAC and then move to the next (parallel array type). I know what I am doing below is not correct but I dont know how to work this I believe you call it a parallel array setup in 2 dimensions corrrect guys? Thanks if you can give me some guidance I would buy you a beer or tickets to walt disney world....okay I cant do that but it sounds nice huh? ahha Thank guys Code: Dim $IP_8TH Dim $MAC_8TH $IP_8TH = "192.168.2.85", $MAC_8TH = "0021851165F4", ;8th Street (ip for routing) sleep 5 For Each $IP in $IP_4th For Each $MAC in $MAC_4TH Shell "cmd.exe /c wol.exe $IP $MAC" Next Next _________________________ Robert A+, CCNA, MCP Network Admin Credit Union Wisconsin

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4567 Loc: USA	Your question is confusing so if this is not what you want, can you rephrase it? This is using two different arrays. Code: $ips="1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2","3.3.3.3" $macs="abcde","efghi","jklmn" for $i=0 to ubound($ips) ? $ips[$i] ? $macs[$i] next You could also use a multidimensional array, but I think the method above is easier.

Code: $IPMAC_8TH="192.168.2.85 0021851165F4", "192.168.2.92 002144CB2F43", "192.168.2.168 002168D92EA8" For Each $IPMAC in $IPMAC_8th Shell "cmd.exe /c wol.exe "+$IPMAC Next

itdaddy itdaddy Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2006-12-19 Posts: 145 Loc: Wisconsin	Hey guys I have a stupid question say I want to make a function so I can reuse it vs makint iterations of each. I have not done a function in kix to pass an array is this how I do it? Code: $IPMAC_8TH = "192.168.1.45 abcdefg", "192.168.1.56 abcdefg".... wol_Yes_IP($IPMAC_8TH) function wol_Yes_IP($IPMAC) For each $IPMAC in $IPMAC_8TH Shell "cmd.exe /c wol.exe $IPMAC" Next EndFunctioin _________________________ Robert A+, CCNA, MCP Network Admin Credit Union Wisconsin

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	A small modification to your function.... Code: $IPMAC_8TH = "192.168.1.45 abcdefg", "192.168.1.56 abcdefg".... For Each $IPMAC in $IPMAC_8TH $rc = wol_Yes_IP($IPMAC) Next Function wol_Yes_IP($IPMAC) Shell "cmd.exe /c wol.exe $IPMAC" EndFunction _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	$rc will catch any return code the function sends back tro your script. If you do not use Something like $rc (or $1, $2 or whatever, you could use any variable name you like) you could get alls sorts of unwanted screen output. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

BradV BradV Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2006-08-16 Posts: 687 Loc: Maryland, USA	Hi Robert, The only thing I would suggest is put the "data" in an ini file. I believe Glenn brought that up earlier. It leaves the logic in your kix script, but moves the data out of it. That way, as your topology changes, your script doesn't have to, just the ini file. In fact, you could loop through the ini file and get rid of the separate sections for each street.
