Mechanix2,

I found this batch file that you created for someone here, and would like to expand on it.

:: multiIP.bat
@echo off > pingLOG

for /f "tokens=*" %%I in (IPlist) do call :pinger %%I
goto :eof

:pinger

echo %TIME% >> ping
ping -a %1 >> pingLOG
:: DONE

Only change I have made is to add the -a in ping to have it also resolve the IP to a PC name.

Is there any way "via batch" to take the output of this and filter it so I only see the IP address of the PC and it's workstation name?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Try this:

::== mip2.bat
@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (IPlist) do (
call :pinger %%a
)
goto :eof

:pinger

ping -a %1 > pingLOG
find "Pinging" < pingLOG > pinging
find "Reply" < pingLOG > reply
for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%a in (pinging) do (
echo %%a
)
for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%a in (reply) do (
set IP=%%a
)
echo !IP:~0,-1!
goto :eof
::==

Mechanix2,

Thanks for the quick response! I'm having a few problems with the file above. My IPlist file looks like this

192.168.10.165
192.168.10.175

When I run the batch file, it only displays the output of the the first machine in the dos window like this. (for a few seconds then it disappears)

JIM
192.168.10.165

I don't see anything for the second.

Stranger still, when I then open up pingLOG, pinging, and the reply files, I only see the entries referencing the 2nd host (192.168.10.175)

My goal would be to output everything to a single text file, in the following format:

JIM 192.168.10.165
JOE 192.168.10.175

etc

Hope that makes sense, Thanks again!

[1] The quick closing of the window would indicate you're not running it from a prompt.

I've got this in IPlist:

127.0.0.1
192.168.10.165
192.168.10.175

and I get:

BIG933
127.0.0.1
192.168.10.165
58.147.0.50
192.168.10.175
58.147.0.50

Unsirprisingly, my doesn't resolve to JIM & JOE.

The reason that the logs show only the last IP is that a fresh one is created with each CALL. The fact that they contain 192.168.10.175 means they are doing both.

Try it at the prompt.

Yep that was it, I see both IPs and their corresponding hostnames now.

Any way to output this info to a file, instead of on screen, and make it so the IP and hostname are on the same line?

Thank you very much!

::== mip3.bat
@echo off

find "Pinging" < pingLOG > pinging
find "Reply" < pingLOG > reply
for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%a in (pinging) do (

for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%a in (reply) do (

echo !name! !IP:~0,-1! >> name2IP.txt

You know I actually went to your site and saw the paypal , but I can't read any of the text, it's all just small squares??

Hi vortech,

I
I'm glad you told me. I checked it out and I see the characters where you see squares. It's Japanese. The last time I yesyed it, it was in English so I guess Paypal must have 'regionalized' it. SHEESH I wonder how many others have had the prob.

My user on Paypal is:

Thanks
