need help writing a batch file to ping a list of servers

[Pepsei]

I need a batch file that will ping a list of servers from another text file and then write to a new text file with the ip address.

can anyone give me some pointers?

Assume ip.txt contains IP addresses on each line. -n 1 means ping once while -w 100 means wait up to a 100ms for a response.

Not quite sure what you mean by writing back to another text file. Write what back?

Im betting that he means that he wants to give a list of servers by hostname, then ping that server and write out what ip address comes back into another text file?
