  Hello,
  
  i am quite new to creating batch files but in my line of work i am required to ping alot of machines on a daily basis.
  
  i have copied a previous batch file i found on here which is working fantastic. However i am wanting to edit it to only output if the ping failed. i have googled around but i am unable to find the write strings to change the output to just output fails to the txt file.
  See below

  @echo off

  Echo pingtest executed on %date% at %time% > c:\pingtest\output.txt
  Echo == >> c:\pingtest\output.txt
  for /f %%i in C:\pingtest\input.txt to call :sub %%i
  Notepad c:\pingtest\output.txt

  goto :eof

  :sub
  echo testing %1

  Set state=alive
  ping -n 1 %1
  if errorlevel 1 set state=dead
  Echo %1 is %state% >> c:\pingtest\output.txt
