Ping Test Bat

[Squashman]

Doesn't mean you copied and pasted it correctly into your script. When you ask for help and someone says they need information from you, it would be prudent to give them the information they need. This isn't our first rodeo. Most of us have been doing this for a long time and beginners make rookie mistakes. If you want to be stubborn go right ahead but don't expect people to help you then.

What    I coppied the exact portion of code that he chanced.  Also, I have had classes in programin an what not 

[Squashman]

Like I said.  If you are going to be stubborn about it nobody is going to help you.

Okay, Just so we are very clear, below is the code you are using right?

Code: [Select]

@echo off
:Menu
cls
echo 1 Perform a self Ping Test
echo 2 Enter a IP to Ping
echo 3 Exit
echo.
set /p ans=

if "%ans%"=="1" (
  ping 127.0.0.1
  pause
  goto Menu
)
if "%ans%"=="2" (
  set /p ip=IP:
  ping %ip%
  pause
  goto Menu
)
if "%ans%"=="3" (exit)
goto Menu

[Ryuk]

Yes,  I took an coppied an pasted any new portions into it.   

[Squashman]

I just tested the code and it works.  Maybe now you should do what I have been asking and copy the code from your batch file to here.

[Ryuk]

did you try the self test?  Giveing it a IP 

[Squashman]

I give up. Raven he is all yours. Your code works just fine for me. If he isn't going to bother to post his code or show the output from the code he is using you might as well be a dentist trying to pull a tooth from a tiger that is still awake.

Finally figured out what he was talking about.  Thought I just mistyped something the first time I ran it.  Need to use delayed expansion on the IP variable.

[Ryuk]

so what is the issue with it :/

[Raven19528]

Need to use delayed expansion on the IP variable.

Never even thought about that. Makes sense now.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
:Menu
cls
echo 1 Perform a self Ping Test
echo 2 Enter a IP to Ping
echo 3 Exit
echo.
set /p ans=

if "%ans%"=="1" (
  ping 127.0.0.1
  pause
  goto Menu
)
if "%ans%"=="2" (
  set /p ip=IP:
  ping !ip!
  pause
  goto Menu
)
if "%ans%"=="3" (exit)
goto

didnt work an menu isnt....

[Salmon Trout]

didnt work an menu isnt....

Love these informative responses...

[Ryuk]

I thought some of the code got missing

[Squashman]

so what is the issue with it :/

You know at some point you need to learn to fish just like you had to learn to talk and feed yourself to be self sufficient in this world. At least make an attempt at researching advice we give you.
