Get System Information

Post by Boxxxed » Tue Mar 23, 2010 7:21 am

Is there a command that gets main system information, such as RAM, CPU, OS etc?

Use Systeminfo command to get computer specs

This is what you are looking for:

Code: Select all

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>systeminfo  >c:\mytemp.txt
ReadFile>c:\mytemp.txt,strFileContents
MessageModal>strFileContents

Have Fun!

When I run the above macro in MS 11 or 12 on XP or in MS 12 on Win 7, it displays: ##NOFILE##

This is because the file is not being created.

However, if I open a DOS window and actually type the following at the command prompt, the file is created no problem:

systeminfo >c:\mytemp.txt

Is there some sort of syntax error with the following line?

Run>systeminfo >c:\mytemp.txt

Perhaps some missing quotes?

You need to do:

Code: Select all

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>cmd.exe /c systeminfo  >%TEMP_DIR%\sysinfo.txt
ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%\sysinfo.txt,strFileContents
MessageModal>strFileContents
