I stole this code from another post, but how do I make it so that when I get a reply it DOES NOT write the IP to the batch file? :start @echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (IPlist.txt) do ( echo %%a >> timedout.txt ping %%a | find "Request timed out" >> timedout.txt )

Do you mean you don't want the PING to display ? If you want the PING to be hidden & do nothing. You export it to nothing which is > nul For example. Ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 > nul It will ping but it won't show or do anything else. If thats not what your after give me some more information Please i'll do my best to help.

Sorry I didn't explain well. Right now the file rights all IP's to the output file. I just want the unresponsive IP's to only be written to the file. Specifically "Request timed out" Heres what tyhe output file now looks like: XX.X26.110.46 Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. XX.X23.58.240 XX.X26.45.4 Request timed out. Request timed out. The IP .58.240 is a good IP so how do I get that to NOT write to the file?
