Matching Computer Name

[brio2025]

Can i have a bump on this thread. So i got the codes working but im having trouble implementing.

So the computer list on the text file if the program finds a match, the codes work i can get them to do certain thing, however if they are not in the list i want them to do another thing different from those on the list.

The problem is that it runs both the tasks for the computers in the list and the tasks assigned to the computers not on the list for the program scans the file each line.

Is there a way to find first the matching computer name on the list to the actual computer running the script so if it's a match, it executes the task intended for that computer and ends the script, but if there is no match, it redirects to another task rather than the code executing 1 by 1?

@brio2025 I have split your thread out and referenced the old one. In the future please do not resurrect old threads; the language has changed much in the last 6 years. What may have worked then may work differently today

Easiest method would be to use an Ini for example:

[Computers]
ComputerName1 = Update
ComputerName2 = Leave

You could then use

Local $sComputerAction = IniRead("filename.ini", "Computers", @ComputerName, "")
Switch $sComputerAction
    Case "Update"
        ;~ Do an update
    Case "Leave"
        ;~ Do nothing
    Case ""
        ;~ Computer name wasn't in Ini so do something else.
EndSwitch

Alternatively you could use FileReadToArray and then _ArraySearch function to see if it can find a match or you could use FileRead and the use "If StringInStr($sFileRead, @ComputerName) Then ...."

Thank you so much. This exactly what i needed
