Thanks

Try this:

C:\>ping servername >C:\ip.txt

It will create a txt file with the ping outcome...

Yay! Batch! Let me play!

Assuming you have the target host name in a variable called 'host' then...

From the command line:

for /f "delims=[] tokens=2" %a in ('ping -n 1 %host% ^| findstr /i /c:"Pinging"') do @echo %host% %a>>IPs.txt

Or from a batch file:

for /f "delims=[] tokens=2" %%a in ('ping -n 1 %host% ^| findstr /i /c:"Pinging"') do @echo %host% %%a>>IPs.txt

Target hit?

Or using VBScript you can use the code at the link below and modify it to your needs:

Why not simply use nslookup ?
