Copy External IPv4 Address, Then, Paste It Into Notes

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#21

No.

On the home Mac, the script reveals an incorrect lanIP address.

169.254.47.13 instead of 10.0.0.132

#22

Can you post the output of my script in post #15 run on the Mac it is erroneously reporting the wrong IP?

Wrong script…

Try this

set the clipboard to (do shell script "networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder")

I don’t know why it’s not working.

It seems to work on my Mac

try posting the output from this

set net to "en6"
set the clipboard to do shell script ("ifconfig " & net)

No where in the above output is the IP “10.0.0.132”
Nothing seems to be wrong with my script. Are you sure your not mistaken about the correct IP?

#29

Robert,

My reply number 18 contains IP address as per System Settings —> Network —> USB 10/100/1000 LAN displays 10.0.0.132.

Just now, I opened System Settings and reverified this.

Additionally, I use 10.0.0.132 for VNC.

Do you think that the Anker Adapter is the cause of this problem?

You told me that en6 was from “Studio Display”

USB 10/100/100 is en15

#31

Robert,

The Anker Adapter is connected to the Mac Studio en15 and is assigned 10.0.0.132.

The Studio Display is connected to the Mac Studio en6 and is assigned 169.254.50.106.

I checked System Information → Network to check the assigned IP addresses, just now.

I checked my previous replies to you. I did indeed post that the home Mac Studio uses en6 for Ethernet. This was an error. I don’t know why I typed this, when System Information clearly reveals that the home Mac Studio uses en15 for Ethernet.

I apologize, sincerely, that my inattentiveness and error frustrated your efforts. You have created a great AppleScript, which has already benefitted me.

OK, here is a newer version of ‘getNET()’ method…

on getNet()
	local tid, netReport, netName, ans, flag
	set netReport to rest of paragraphs of (do shell script "networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder")
	set tid to text item delimiters
	set text item delimiters to return
	set netReport to netReport as text
	set text item delimiters to return & return
	set netReport to text items of netReport
	set text item delimiters to {space, return}
	set ans to {}
	set flag to true
	repeat with anItem in netReport
		set netName to text item 2 of anItem
		if netName = "Wi-fi" then
			set ans to ans & {wifi:last word of anItem}
		else if netName is in {"Studio", "Ethernet", "USB"} then
			if flag then
				set ans to ans & {ethernet:last word of anItem}
				set flag to false
			end if
		end if
	end repeat
	set text item delimiters to tid
	return ans
end getNet

Robert,

I have run the script multiple times on both Macs. All seems well, and, I am pleased with it.

To reiterate, this is a fine piece of work.

Again, my apology for my error.

Regards,

Kurt
