WINDOWS PROMPT Getting IP of webpages from file

Question

I have to get IP of webpages that I'll deliver from txt file: for example txt file looks like:

google.com
yahoo.com
toyota.com
bmw.com
etc...

I'll have to get something like

81.177.116.172
11.127.114.122
etc..
or 
81.177.116.172 - google.com
11.127.114.122 - yahoo.com

I know that I can use

ping websiteurl.com > ping.txt

but i want to check like 2000 pages. Please advice how to do it the fastest way, and how to deliver line from txt file as parameter to ping. Thanks

Answer 1

I know this is a PowerShell answer to a batch question, but I find that many people ask how to do things in batch when they are really just wanting a command line. If you are wanting to learn how to do things like this, learn PowerShell instead of batch as it is much easier to learn than the convoluted batch FOR command (my apologies to those of you who actually understand it).

get-content c:\temp\test.txt | foreach-object{ping ([System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("$_")[0].IPAddressToString)}

Next updated and commented code snippet is faster than code in my original answer:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion

set "_format=%~1"                   use for output ''beautifying''
if defined _format (
  echo        hostname OP IPv4_address    explanation
  echo        -------- -- ------------    -----------
)
set "_file=files\30852528.txt"      change to fit your circumstances

for /F "usebackq delims=" %%i in ("%_file%") do (
  set "_host=%%i"                   remember input line 

  for /F "tokens=1 delims==" %%G in ('set ___ping 2^>NUL') do set "%%G="

  set /A "_line=0" 
  for /F "delims=" %%G in ('ping -a -4 -n 1 %%i') do (
    set /A "_line+=1"
    call set "___ping%%_line%%=%%G" remember ping output to an array-like variable
  )
  REM   rem debug output in next two lines
  REM   echo(
  REM   for /F "tokens=1* delims==" %%G in ('set ___ping 2^>NUL') do echo(%%H
  call :pings
) 
ENDLOCAL
goto :eof

  )

  set "_string==Pinging"

      if errorlevel 1 (

  rem basic formatting: output to columns only for demonstration at StackOverflow

  ) else set "_explains="
  if defined _format (
      set "_hostName=%_hostName:~-15%"
      set "_hostIPno=%_hostIPno:~0,15%"

  rem output with delayed expansion enabled:
  SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion
    echo(!_hostName! !_operator! !_hostIPno!!_explains!
  ENDLOCAL
goto :eof

Data:

d:\bat> type "files\30852528.txt"|findstr /V "^;"

77.75.79.53
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.12
bmw.com

Output (run from an open cmd window):

bmw.com =? 160.46.244.131
origin.bmw.com =? 160.46.244.131
