Windows Batch - How to get the external IP into a batch-file variable

Question

I am making a program that checks if a user\'s IP is a certain IP address.

Currently, I created a successful internal IP version:

@echo off
set userI         


        

Answer 1

First it seems there is a . too much after the first .com.

Second when using your command with simply google.com and echo %a I get the following:

" xx.xx.xx.x" without the quotes and with two leading spaces!

So your if will never be true!

Change it to something like this: if "%%a"==" xx.xx.xx.x" Goto:good and you should be fine.
