Batch Files - Error Handling

Question

I\'m currently writing my first batch file for deploying an asp.net solution. I\'ve been Googling a bit for a general error handling approach and can\'t find anything really

Answer 1

A successful ping on your local network can be trapped using ERRORLEVEL.

@ECHO OFF
PING 10.0.0.123
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NOT-THERE
ECHO IP ADDRESS EXISTS
PAUSE
EXIT
:NOT-THERE
ECHO IP ADDRESS NOT NOT EXIST
PAUSE
EXIT
