Pinging Multiple PCs and Adding Text

Question

I am new to this, so please bear with me, and if you need more information from me, please tell me. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have this code that pings on different computers and then returns if they are online / offline. I wanted to know if another column could be added as soon as the bat file did its ping test so that it had the computer name next to it.

@echo off if exist C:\tools\computers.txt goto Label1 echo. echo Cannot find C:\tools\computers.txt echo. Pause goto :eof :Label1 echo PingTest executed on %date% at %time% > C:\tools\z.txt echo ================================================= >> C:\tools\z.txt for /f %%i in (C:\tools\computers.txt) do call :Sub %%i notepad C:\tools\z.txt goto :eof :Sub echo Testing %1 set state=alive ping -n 1 %1 | find /i "bytes=" || set state=dead echo %1 is %state% >> C:\tools\z.txt 

The bat file creates a document that shows the following:

PingTest on 07/28/2016 at 13:10:28

99.1.82.28 alive

99.1.82.100 alive

Ect.

If possible, I would like the bat file to be launched so that it displays this:

The bat file creates a document that shows the following:

PingTest on 07/28/2016 at 13:10:28

Computer 1: 99.1.82.28 is alive

Computer 2: 99.1.82.100 is alive

Ect.

Thank you for your help and guidance on this.

Thanks.

You can try this solution:

 @echo off Title Ping Test set "URLS=URLS.txt" set "LogFile=PingResults.txt" If exist %LogFile% Del %LogFile% ( echo ****************************************************** echo PingTest executed on %Date% @ Time %Time% echo ****************************************************** echo( ) > %LogFile% Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("%URLS%") do ( for /f "tokens=2 delims=[]" %%b in ('ping -n 1 %%a') do set "ip=%%b" ping -n 1 %%a>nul && set "msg=%%a : !ip! ALive ok" || set "msg=%%a : !ip! Dead failed to respond" echo !msg! echo !msg! >> %LogFile% ) ) EndLocal Start "" %LogFile% pause>nul & exit
