I created a batch file with the following content:
FOR EACH %%i IN C:\inputfile.txt DO
ping %%i >> C:\Outputfile.txt
when I runit, it does not create C:\Outputfile.txt
FOR EACH %%i IN C:\inputfile.txt DO
ping %%i >> C:\Outputfile.txt
when I runit, it does not create C:\Outputfile.txt

this worked for me:
but when I tried
I got the following in my Outputfile.txt:
Ping request could not find host C:\inputfile.txt. Please check the name and try again.
FOR /F %%i IN (C:\inputfile.txt) DO ping %%i >> C:\Outputfile.txt but when I tried
FOR /F %%i IN (%1) DO ping %%i >> C:\Outputfile.txt I got the following in my Outputfile.txt:
Ping request could not find host C:\inputfile.txt. Please check the name and try again.
for server in `cat servers.txt`
do
echo ---------- $server --------->> mylog
ping -c 4 $server >> mylog 2>&1
done
