Get external IP and dump to text file

[T.Vengeance]

Is there a batch file script/CMD command that I can use to automatically run every morning to get my external IP and dump it to a .txt file?

I don't have anything that can help you, however I'm curious as to why you want/need this?

I don't have a static IP and sometimes I wanna RDP from my tablet on my university's wifi. So it'd be nice if I could just use task scheduler on my surface pro 3 to grab my IP every morning.

ok

var request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");

var notyetready = 1;

request.onreadystatechange=function()

{

if(request.readyState==4)

{

WScript.Echo(request.responseText);

notyetready = 0;

}

}

request.open( "GET", "http://icanhazip.com/", true );

request.send(null);

while( notyetready )

{

WScript.Sleep( 100 );

}

Save your new .txt file. Then rename it: getip.js

Now make another new .txt file and paste this into it:

cscript getip.js >ip.txt

Save the file and then rename it: GetIP.bat

Run the .bat file and it will create a .txt file called IP.txt which contains your 'internet IP address' or external IP address.

WHOOT THANKS . I've been searching around, but every time I stumble unto a code similar to the one you got, I'm not sure how to use it (I'm kinda programming inadept now...).
