Batch file help - adding output from command to csv file - batch-file

Question

I currently have a batch file that reads a list of computer names and pings each of these and outputs the ones that reply to a csv file with the computer name and ip address.
I now need to edit this to also find out the user of the machine. I need to contact users which are online to arrange some work done to their computer. Their can be over a hundred machines in the batch file so to manually find out each user takes time. Is there a way to do this?
`IF EXIST C:\test\new.csv (del C:\test\new.csv)
IF EXIST C:\test\final.csv (del C:\test\final.csv)
set ComputerList=C:\test\ClientList.txt
Echo Computer Name,IP Address>Final.csv
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo please wait...
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%A in ("%ComputerList%") do (
for /f "tokens=3" %%B in ('ping -n 1 -l 1 %%A ^|findstr Reply') do (
set IPadd=%%B
echo %%A,!IPadd:~0,-1!>>final.csv
)
)
findstr /V "IPAddress" final.csv >> C:\test\new.csv
echo identified machines for Install
start excel C:\test\new.csv
echo opened csv file`
The command I want to use to get the username is:
`wmic.exe /NODE: %%A COMPUTERSYSTEM GET USERNAME`
Thanks

Here is a function I wrote to do just what you are trying to do:
:GetLoggedInUser comp user
for /f %%u in (
'wmic /NODE:"%1" Computersystem get username^|find "\"') do (
if not errorlevel 1 ( for /f "tokens=2 delims=\" %%a in (
'wmic /NODE:"%1" Computersystem get username^|find "\"' ) do (
For /f %%b in ("%%a") do (set %2=%%b))
) ELSE (for /f "skip=1" %%a in (
'wmic /NODE:"%1" Computersystem get username' ) do (
For /f %%b in ("%%a") do (set %2=%%b))
))
Exit /b
Here is my function for pinging. It returns a 0 if the ping succeeded and a 1 otherwise.
:IsPingable comp
ping -n 1 -w 3000 -4 -l 8 "%~1" | Find "TTL=">nul
exit /b
Usage example:
for /l %%a in (1,1,255) do (
call:IsPingable 10.6.1.%%a && (
echo ping 10.6.1.%%a used )||( echo ping 10.6.1.%%a unused )
)
And here is for if you're pinging IP's and want to return the hostname as well:
:IsPingable2 comp ret
setlocal
for /f "tokens=2" %%a in (
'"ping -a -n 1 -4 "%~1" | Find "Pinging" 2>nul"') do set name=%%a
endlocal & set %~2=%name%
ping -n 1 -w 3000 -4 -l 8 "%~1" | Find "TTL=">nul
exit /b
Usage example:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /l %%a in (1,1,255) do (
call:IsPingable2 10.6.1.%%a host && (
echo ping !host! - 10.6.1.%%a used )||( echo ping !host! - 10.6.1.%%a unused )
)
I just posted these because they just might come in handy for this type of thing in the future. You can use the :IsPingable now though.
You would use it like this in your code:
IF EXIST C:\test\final.csv (del C:\test\final.csv)
set ComputerList=C:\test\ClientList.txt
Echo Computer Name,IP Address,Logged In User>Final.csv
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo please wait...
echo.
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%A in ("%ComputerList%") do (
for /f "tokens=3" %%B in ('ping -n 1 -l 1 %%A ^|find "TTL="') do (
if not errorlevel 1 (
set IPadd=%%B
call :GetLoggedInUser %%B uname
echo %%A,!IPadd:~0,-1!,!uname!>>final.csv
)
)
)
echo identified machines for Install
start excel C:\test\final.csv
echo opened csv file
goto :eof
:GetLoggedInUser comp user
for /f %%u in (
'wmic /NODE:"%1" Computersystem get username^|find "\"') do (
if not errorlevel 1 ( for /f "tokens=2 delims=\" %%a in (
'wmic /NODE:"%1" Computersystem get username^|find "\"' ) do (
For /f %%b in ("%%a") do (set %2=%%b))
) ELSE (for /f "skip=1" %%a in (
'wmic /NODE:"%1" Computersystem get username' ) do (
For /f %%b in ("%%a") do (set %2=%%b))
))
Exit /b

The below code will count the number of lines in two files sequentially and is set to the variables SalaryCount and TaxCount.
#ECHO OFF
echo Process started, please wait...
for /f %%C in ('Find /V /C "" ^< "D:\Trial\Salary.txt"') do set SalaryCount=%%C
echo Salary,%SalaryCount%
for /f %%C in ('Find /V /C "" ^< "D:\Trial\Tax.txt"') do set TaxCount=%%C
echo Tax,%TaxCount%
Now if you need to output these values to a csv file, you could use the below code.
#ECHO OFF
cd "D:\CSVOutputPath\"
echo Process started, please wait...
echo FILENAME,FILECOUNT> SUMMARY.csv
for /f %%C in ('Find /V /C "" ^< "D:\Trial\Salary.txt"') do set Count=%%C
echo Salary,%Count%>> SUMMARY.csv
for /f %%C in ('Find /V /C "" ^< "D:\Trial\Tax.txt"') do set Count=%%C
echo Tax,%Count%>> SUMMARY.csv
The > will overwrite the existing content of the file and the >> will append the new data to existing data. The CSV will be generated in D:\CSVOutputPath
