I was able to come up with a not nice solution, but at least it's working. For future reference, I bookmarked the site, cuz I know this will come up again and again. Sorry about the rain... I'm in San Diego, so we only get sun and clouds most of the time. I know... I'm whining how? (if you're a redhead and pale, all you do is burn. :)) Have a great weekend guys.

I ran across this though and I tried it and it worked. Put your comments between percent signs like this and you should be good. (% Comment goes here %) I guess that it tries to create a variable, but can't becuase of the syntax. Here is the source that I got it from: http://www.pressroom.com/~tglbatch/genotes.htm Two tries is better than none. Have a great weekend. Supposed to rain here. Daryl S.

I have a list of all the IP and machine names. I want to ping the Ips, and leave in place the NAME of the server on that IP. BUT... I can't figure out the character to comment out the rest of the string: ping x.x.x.x1 ;servername1.peregrine.com. ping x.x.x.x2 ;servername2.peregrine.com. ping x.x.x.x3 ;servername3.peregrine.com. ping x.x.x.x4 ;servername4.peregrine.com. ping x.x.x.x5 ;servername5.peregrine.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated... I just can't figure it out, and I know it's elementary. Jen Jennifer Hooper Peregrine Systems, Inc.
