colmain colmain Lurker Registered: 2003-01-09 Posts: 2 Loc: Canada	Hi guys, I'm trying to gather some hardware information. I can get Kix to get everything other than system memory. I saw that there is another script that contains a memory.exe for this but would prefer to use tools installed by default on 2k/xp systems. I thought that maybe I could run the msinfo32 and print it into a file but am having some problems getting the information out of the file. I'm not a programmer by any means and am relativley new to kix. Here is the code I have so far... ,-------start break on ;-------Operating System ? @producttype ;-------CPU Speed and type $cpu = readvalue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0","processornamestring") ? $cpu ;-------Report the free Disk space if the drive exists $drivec = getdiskspace( "c:\") $drived = getdiskspace( "d:\") $drivee = getdiskspace( "e:\") $drivef = getdiskspace( "f:\") If $drivec>0 ? $drivec endif If $drived>0 ? $drived endif If $drivee>0 ? $drivee endif If $drivef>0 ? $drivef endif ;-------IP Address ? @IPADDRESS0 ;-------System Memory shell "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe /report c:\test\msinfo.txt /categories applications" If Open(1,"c:\test\msinfo.txt") = 0 WHILE @ERROR = 0 $x = ReadLine(1) IF LEFT($x,21)= "Total physical memory" left($mem,10) ? $mem close (1) ENDIF If you guys could help I would appreciate it. Tnx

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	The second LEFT should be SUBSTR($x,22) as you want to read the stuff after the first 21 characters. BTW, a more convenient way to gather hardware info is to utilize WMI. Just search the KiXtart BBS for 'hardware inventory' or look up Inquisitor. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	I would follow Jens Suggestion to utilize WMI for that kind of tasks, Anyway, to set the string manipulation right : if open(1,"c:\test\msinfo.txt") = 0 while @error = 0 $x = readline(1) if instr($x,"Total physical memory") $mem = substr($x,22,12) ? $mem endif loop $ = close(1) endif _________________________

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	The third (length) parameter in SUBSTR($x,22,12) is optional: quote: Length Optional numeric value representing the length of the substring. If omitted or if there are fewer than Length characters in the text (including the character at start), all characters from the start position to the end of the string are returned. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

"Total Physical Memory "+Val(WMIQuery("TotalPhysicalMemory","Win32_LogicalMemoryConfiguration",$machine))/1024+" MB" [ 10.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Waltz: You should use '+' signs when concacenating string fragments, better programming syntax! code: ; not good ? 'aaa' $var 'bbb' $var ;good ? 'aaa'+$var+'bbb'+$var $var='aaa'+$var+'bbb'+$var _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Waltz Waltz Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-01 Posts: 485 Loc: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada	I knew that... I was just testing you... Actually, the 'code' was cut and pasted from an old dev script, where neatness didn't count... BTW, what is quote: concacenating ? Is is similar to concatenating?... [ 10.

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Waltz is not (con)catenating string fragments - he is sending them to the console and the way he is doing it is perfectly correct. Waltz's code outputs each string fragment to the console. Using '+' between the fragments will pop and push the fragments onto the stack as it constructs a temporary string to output, which is redundant and a waste of memory/CPU cycles. Where you require a catenated string as in your assignment example the "+" signs are mandatory, not optional. Don't forget that this is a free format language, so code: ? "Display" " a " "string" is the same as code: ? "Display" " a " "string" Sometimes it is easy to forget this and look at a script as containing "lines" of code.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Waltz: typo Richard: I'm aware of the free-format aspect of KiXtart. However, the advantage of the second example is that I can easily switch between assigning the string to a variable and outputting it to the console by just swithcing between '?' and '$var=' Also, being German, I prefer neatness _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Jens, I agree absolutely. If it was a KiX golf script however... I wanted to correct the implication that there was some sort of catenating going on. For instance code: $sVar="some variable" $=MessageBox("sVar=" $sVar, "Debug") Will not work.
