Hi folks,

I am trying to set up a batch file to run an nbtscan on an IP addresses and then output the results to a text file.

I have the basic scan which works a treat:

scan.bat 192.168.1.1

@echo off
date /t >> %1.txt
time /t >> %1.txt
echo IP Address being scanned %1 >> %1.txt
nbtstat -A %1 >> %1.txt
echo --------------- >> %1.txt

Now I want to get clever :-) and set it up so that I can list multiple IP addresses in a text file and get it to work its way through it.

I started by using this which allows me to read 1 IP address from a file:

FOR /F %%A in (ip.txt) do set ip=%%A
date /t >> %ip%.txt
time /t >> %ip%.txt
echo IP Address being scanned %ip% >> %ip%.txt
nbtstat -A %ip% >> %ip%.txt
echo --------------- >> %ip%.txt

Now I know if I use something like:

FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4,5 delims=," %%A in (ip.txt) do set ip=%%A

I can start to list several IP addresses with a comma delimiter but I want to set up some kind of loop where it runs the scan for each ip address until it comes to the end of the list and stops.

I have this running every 30 minutes and want a seperate file for each IP.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Cheers

IP.txt needs one IP on each line. Then:

FOR /F %%A in (ip.txt) do (
bla
bla
)

=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

I'm a fan of splitting up functions as files, so I would propose something like this :

@echo off
for /F %%A in (ip.txt) do (
call scan.bat %%A
)
