Specs: Windows 7
I have a batch program that seems to be giving me false possitives and doesn't appear to be looping. Can anyone please evaluate and tell me what is worong with the following:

:: “Set Variables”
for /f “tokens=*” %%I in (IPlist.txt) do @Set $IP=%%I
@Set OutputFile=PingResults.log

:: “Set Time stamp”
@FOR /F “tokens=*” %%* IN (’date/t’) Do @(set $dt=%%*)
@FOR /F “tokens=*” %%* IN (’time/t’) Do @(set $tm=%%*)

:: “Ping Computer”
@start/b/w PING %1 -a %$IP% -n 2 -w 100>”temp.txt”
@FOR /F “tokens=2,3 delims= ” %%A IN (%tmpFile%) DO @IF “%%B”=="[%$IP%]” SET $PC=%%A ||@rem

:: “Get Status”
@Set $Status=Off-Line
@IF EXIST “temp.txt” @GoTo READSTATUS
@Set $Status=Ping-Error
@GoTo RESULTS

:READSTATUS
@Set errorlevel=
@Type “temp.txt” | Find “TTL=" >nul
@IF Not errorlevel = 1 @Set $Status=On-Line

:RESULTS
@echo results: %$dt% %$tm% %$PC%[%$IP%] ^= %$Status% >>”%OutputFile%”

for /f “tokens=*” %%I in (IPlist.txt) do @Set $IP=%%I
This, for all practical purposes, sets $IP to the last line. The easiest fix would be to change the line to the following lines:
for /f “tokens=*” %%I in (IPlist.txt) do call :loop %%I
goto :EOF
:loop
Set $IP==%1

@start/b/w PING %1 -a %$IP% -n 2 -w 100>”temp.txt”
@FOR /F “tokens=2,3 delims= ” %%A IN (%tmpFile%) DO @IF “%%B”=="[%$IP%]” SET $PC=%%A ||@rem
You're trying to read and write from the file at the same time. Strange things happen when you do that.

If you're using this script in Win7, it'd be easier to just use PowerShell to ping.
