    Hello smart people

    This has got me stumped and is outside my wheelhouse..
    Here is what i want to do..

    * lift the name of the person i am talking to in Skype for Business
    * Search for that name in a text file which logs user logins across the network
    * Extract the last word (the computer name) from the last line (the most recent entry) from a static text file
    * Run SCCM Remote Control %computername%

    Currently the process that our service desk goes through to extract the computer name and then connect to their computer is frankly embarrassing – but more importantly its super time consuming..

    This is how far i have gotten..

    I use autohotkey so bind the Numpad Subtract key to lift the persons name and then give it to the www2.bat file.

    The part i am stuck on is the last part.. filtering out all but the most recent entry and only the last word which is

    [SIZE=14px]autohotkey.ahk[/SIZE]
    NumpadSub::
    IfWinExist “ahk_class LyncTabFrameHostWindowClass”
    WinActivate
    WinGetActiveTitle, Title
    Run C:Scriptswww2.bat %Title%
    Return
    Return[/CODE]

    [B][SIZE=14px]www2.bat[/SIZE][/B]
    [CODE]@echo off
    findstr /i %1 x:itlogswho_when.txt | findstr /i %2
    Pause
    [/CODE]

    [I]So i can filter the huge who_when.txt down to just the user I am currently talking to and the machine they are using..

    I only need the last word from the last line..[/I]
