Small snippet which translates a hostname into an IP address, and automatically copies it into the clipboard

Primary LanguagePowerShell

Get-IP

This is a small snippet that I load on my profile.ps1 file as a function, which translates a hostname into an IP address, and automatically copies it into the clipboard.

It uses the native Windows command ping rather than the Test-Connection PowerShell equivalent, in order to be portable on older machines.

Usage:

Get-IP www.google.com

Running this command will copy the IP address of www.google.com into the clipboard
