Hi,
I have a script that is suppose to obtain a Wan IP and copy it to the clipboard, but it doesn’t work anymore, at least under El Capitan.
The script is below. If any corrections need to be made, I wouldn’t mind them being made.
if the button_pressed is "RetrieveYourIP" then
say "Retrieving Your IP address, this may take a moment." without waiting until completion
WanIP()
display alert "Your IP Address is" & WanIP() & "And has been copied to your clipboard."
set the clipboard to WanIP()
#IP Definitions
on WanIP()
set WIP to missing value
set siteList to {"http://checkip.dyndns.org/", "http://whatismyip.com", "http://www.whatismyipaddress.com", "http://ipid.shat.net/", "http://www.edpsciences.comhtbin/ipaddress", "http://www.showmyip.com/"}
repeat with thissite in siteList
try
set WIP to item 1 of paragraphs of (do shell script "curl " & thissite & " | tr -cs '[0-9\\.]' '\\012' | awk -F'.' 'NF==4 && $1>0 && $1<256 && $2<256 && $3<256 && $4<256 && !/\\.\\./'")
if WIP is not missing value then exit repeat
end try
end repeat
return WIP
end WanIP
Apparently, when a user presses the button above (retrieve Your IP) under OS X 10.11, it just … fails. It doesn’t even attempt it.
Instead it goes straight to the final alert of thank you for using this application, which it should do if the user is finished with the app.
The entirer app is actually a network utility, all though be it, a small one, it serves it’s purpose.
If the entire script is needed, do let me know. Though everything else works just fine, accept the retrieval of the WAN IP.
