Batch file needed please

I'm trying to write a batch file to do a series of tasks when a ping fails so far I have the following but I'm unsure of the syntax and how to get mutiple lines into the if statement

Code:

---

@echo off
setlocal
set ipaddr=10.90.11.103
set state=down
for /f "tokens=5,7" %%a in (ping -n 1 !ipaddr!') do (
if "x%%a"=="xReceived" if "x%%b"=="x1," set state=up
if state=up goto :eof
{something in here for ping fail}

:eof

---

Does this sort of look ok or is there maybe an easier way

Well I can't run BAT files here to test it, but from a quick glance looks like a far bit of that you don't need really.

state=down/up doesn't nothing, unless you're using it later in the script. You might aswell just replace set state-up with a goto:

Don't really need setlocal as it's just declaring local vars, and with that script it doesn't really matter either way.

More like this:

Code:

---

@echo  off
set ipaddr=XXX
for PING) do (
if NOT A if NOT B goto fail
goto pass

:pass
Amg it passed

:fail
Amg it failed

---

Aka it checks if it's not valid, if not it'll jump to fail, else it'll run passed. (Or nothing if it's only to check fail)

Only an idea :P

Another variant:

Code:

---

@echo  off
set ipaddr=XXXX
PING -n 1 -w 7500 %ipaddr% | find "TTL=" || goto fail
:pass
echo :)
goto eof

:fail
echo :(

:eof
