Need someone to write me a script / bat file to PING please

Virdi · 9 Sep 2010 at 22:01

Hi all,

Could somebody please help or advise.

I need a simple script or bat (batch) file which I can edit/add a whole load of IP addresses to..

So when I run it - it just goes away and pings them all and then somehow shows me the results... or outputs them to a small file..?

Thanks

ping www.hotmail.com >> c:\jake\ping.txt

Google is your friend? Didnt take too long to come up with this:

ips.txt

127.0.0.1
google.com
overclockers.co.uk

script.bat

@Echo off
for /F %%a in (ips.txt) do (
ping %%a >> log.txt
)

This. Let's make it a little prettier though.

Code:

ping -n 1 [ipaddress1] > output.txt
ping -n 1 [ipaddress2] >> output.txt
ping -n 1 [ipaddress3] >> output.txt

etc.

The -n switch tells it how many echo request to get. Just one will run much faster that the default of 4, and also looks prettier in the output file.

Note the first line only has one '>'. This designates a blank document. Using '>>' will append to the existing document.
