ipscan in batch files?

Question

I'm trying to use ipscan (angry IP) in a batch file in xp pro but the command line says id doesn't recognize ipscan as a command. Any ideas on how to use ipscan in a batch file?

Answer 1

If your batch file is not recognizing "ipscan.exe" as a command, then either your batch file is not in the same directory as the ipscan executable, or your reference in the batch file does not include the full path to ipscan.exe



Here's what I did to test this out,

Downloaded ipscan.exe and save it to my c:\temp directory
Created a batch file in c:\temp with a simple line

ipscan.exe 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.100 scan.txt

That will scan my 192.168.1.x subnet from 1 to 100 and put the results into a 'scan.txt' file. The program's help file gives you the remaining command line switches that you can use.

The most important thing to remember is that either
1) your batch has to be in the same directory as the executable you are calling, or,
2) your batch file has to include the entire path to the executable, or,
3) the directory that contains your ipscan.exe has to be in the computer's path.

Perhaps if you told us what it is you are trying to achieve, we could help you better.

Oh, and, the batch file knows where the ipscan .exe is located, doesn't it?
