Does anyone can share shell/Apple script to ping the list of hostname/IP address and provide the output in CSV/txt?

I'm so confused by this I'm going to bite. :-)

The output from ping is between 2 and c+1 lines of text:

PING e3191.c.akamaiedge.net (2.19.157.15): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 2.19.157.15: icmp_seq=0 ttl=58 time=1.797 ms

Not really much to convert to CSV. And if you want the output in a text file, no need to go near AppleScript

$ ping -c1 www.apple.com > output.txt

$ open output.txt

To ping a range of IP addresses

for i in {1..254}; do ping -Q -n -c1 192.168.192.$i; done

Using AppleScript you could do something like this:

set resvar to ""

repeat with i from 190 to 200

set the_cmd to "ping -c1 192.168.199." & i

try

do shell script the_cmd

set resvar to resvar & the_cmd & " success" & return

on error

set resvar to resvar & the_cmd & " fail" & return

end try

end repeat

Result:

"ping -c1 192.168.199.190 success

ping -c1 192.168.199.191 success

ping -c1 192.168.199.192 success

ping -c1 192.168.199.193 success

ping -c1 192.168.199.194 fail

ping -c1 192.168.199.195 fail

ping -c1 192.168.199.196 fail

ping -c1 192.168.199.197 fail

ping -c1 192.168.199.198 fail

ping -c1 192.168.199.199 success

ping -c1 192.168.199.200 success

But not being clear on what you're trying to do, I can't give you any more than that!
