[Python] Is there a way that a python function can grab the IP given by Playit.gg in the...

I am making a server manager script in python that can run a minecraft server and start a playit.gg executable. Normally both have their own console window but when doing it with python, everything is put into 1 console window.

I linked the server manager to a discord bot so that my friends can turn on the server and play on it as well but I want the IP given by playit.gg to be send in the chat. Sending the message isn't the problem, getting python to take the ip and write it to a save file (txt file) is the problem.

I've tried having python look at the console, using stdout/stdin, I've asked AI (helpful as ever), I've tried logging the console to a separate file... At this point I don't know if it's python, the console, playit.exe...

def extract_and_save():
pattern = re.compile(r'\b[\w\-]+\.gl\.joinmc\.link\b')

print("Waiting for Playit IP... (Ctrl+C to stop)")
while True:
for line in sys.stdin:
match = pattern.search(line)
if match:
ip = match.group(0)
print(f"Found Playit IP: {ip}")
with open("playit_ip.txt", "w") as f:
f.write(ip)
break # Stop after finding the IP


In short: normally 2 consoles (1 for java (minecraft server) and 1 for playit.exe), now 1 console (Python.exe). I need it to find the IP with structure something + .joinmc.link and write it to the playit_ip.txt file.
