Question

The code below will write the computer name and ip address to file, but I would like it to also write the name of the computers it cannot ping with a fail next to it. I have no idea how I would modify the batch file to do this.

@echo off

Echo Pinging list...

set ComputerList=list.txt

Echo Computername,IP Address>Final.csv
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%A in ("%ComputerList%") do (
for /f "tokens=3" %%B in ('ping -n 1 -l 1 %%A ^|findstr Reply') do (
set IPadd=%%B
echo %%A,!IPadd:~0, -1!>>Results.csv
))

pause

Answer 1

You could use errorlevel set by findstr to substitute return string(s) if ‘Reply’ is not found:

('ping -n 1 -l 1 %%A ^|findstr Reply ^|^| echo Not found Failed:')  

where || (escaped here because of for context with ^) means execute only if previous command failed.

As a side note, you should be aware that ping messages are system language dependent (they are translated to language of OS) so ‘Reply’ as success indicator works only for English versions.
