comand promt script help

[mike1996]

trying to wright a script to ask for ip and ping it but this one dose not ping just asks for ip infinitely

WHAT DID I SCREW UP, please help im new to scripting in command prompt

@echo off
title Ping
:start
echo what IP would you like to ping
set /p ip=
ping %ip%
Pause
goto start

set /P id="What IP would you like to ping?":
ping %ip%

 

[mike1996]

set /P id="What IP would you like to ping?":
ping %ip%

it keeps skipping over the actual ping command.
it will ask for the ip and then it will print out the ping usage info but it never actually pings anything

If you haven't sorted your script yet, the variable id was being assigned the ip address but the script was still trying to ping the variable ip:

@echo off
title Ping
:start
set /p ip="What IP would you like to ping?":
ping %ip%
Pause
goto start
