I would suggest a few modifications though.<br />
<br />
To only ping once, waiting for, at most .1 seconds to time out:<br />
for /f &quot;tokens=*&quot; %a in (ip.txt) do ping -n 1 -w 100 %a<br />
<br />
To only show responding IPs:<br />
for /f &quot;tokens=*&quot; %a in (ip.txt) do ping -n 1 -w 100 %a|find /i &quot;Reply&quot;<br />
<br />
And to ping an entire subnet:<br />
for /l %a in (1,1,254) do ping -n 1 -w 100 192.168.1.%a|find /i &quot;Reply&quot;<br />

Piping on DOS / Ping IP Addresses in Text File

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Microsoft DOS

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
