ever read the tcl-command.doc? there is an intresting function called dnslookup (you want to get the ip from the hostname, dont you?). to get the hostname use something like: [string range $uhost [string first @ $uhost] e]
What I'm looking for is a script that works just like the 'whois' command in UNIX/Linux. Its used to get 'registration' information of domain names. Say if I want to get to know who the domain egghelp.org belongs to, I will type 'whois egghelp.org' on a UNIX/Linux console and I will get an output that 'it' belongs to 'them'.
Get the idea? I don't want a script for 'nslookup'. NO! There are many scripts for that purpose
the returned output is in TXT format, so it shouldn't be that hard to parse.
I think good TCL Coders like ppslim, caesar, slenox, wcc, yourname, papilion and the many many other coders in here can do an output, i for myself dont think i could do such complex work, but i hope this urls up there can help.
<EDIT>
just found out "whois planetquake.de" and stuff on my shell also returns this data...so you wouldnt even have to fetch data from a webpage but by executing and parsing "whois" output. The URL's above may help with windrop (windows doesn't have this "whois" command i think...)
