Echo DNS and Alternative DNS using command line/ batch

I have been using a for loop with findstr to echo specific lines from ipconfig/all. For example

for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('ipconfig/all ^| findstr "#DNS Servers"') do (echo %a) [double percentage sign to use within batch file]

This will echo out the DNS Servers line but how to get the Alternate address that is beneath that in ipconfig/all There nothing in that line to findstr to help isolate it. Is there a way to do this?

Here is the relevant ipconfig/all output. I am looking for YYYY

I want to try this in batch because it is to use at the end of anther batch program.

Solution

It's surprisingly easy in your case:

ipconfig /all |findstr /bc:"   DNS-Server" /c:"       "

Note: if you have more than one network adapter, you get the DNS-Server(s) (both IPv4 and IPv6) of all of them without any hint, which belongs to which.

Note: the output of ipconfig is language-dependent. You probably have to adapt the string DNS-Server to your actual output.

If you want the "alternative" DNS-Server only:

ipconfig /all |findstr /bc:"       "

(There nothing in that line to findstr to help isolate it.: yes, there is. It's the only line(s) that starts with more than three spaces. findstr /b matches pattern if at the beginning of a line)
