Batch Conversion issue
Posted: 23 Mar 2021 09:21
Hi all,
I have a Batch file to ping for all hostnames inside my domain by brings these hostnames from an external text file (hosts.txt) and it works properly while using it as a bat file, but after converting this file to an executable file (exe) and try to use it, its display an error message contain that (The system cannot find the file "hosts.txt" )
why does this happen? And how can fix this issue?
Here is the mentioned code:
and You must have another text file named "hosts.txt" contain at all hostnames separated by Enter button and this file located in the same directory
