Winbox suggestion

This is going OT, but I want to answer. Do you install random crap on your production laptop? Do you browse random and/or questionable sites on that machine? Do you allow random people to use your laptop? I don’t, so I don’t care that all programs can read my winbox.cfg. Besides, there are far more precious things than winbox.cfg that needs to be protected. I care about that and I’m also making regular backups. With TrueCrypt – if they steal my laptop, I win. They have only a replaceable brick worth nothing more than a few bucks.

Back to topic, if Mikrotik people won’t decide to implement “find” textbox, I’m probably gonna make the wrapper as was suggested to call the Winbox executable with parameters. Mikrotik people – if you’re still following – could you post the format of winbox.cfg so a custom application can reliably read it? This is not a secret I suppose :wink: Thanks in advance.

Not true, there are electric screwdrivers, different bits, different sizes, and different shapes and there are still improvements occasionally being made. I don’t lug around my desktop to check my e-mail everywhere I go, I use my blackberry, but I don’t use it to just sit around and surf the web when I can use my desktop or laptop instead.

I personally prefer winbox for my everyday use.
