using DOS command for batch file

[anggwaponi]

hi all

need help or workaround regarding some short DOS programs using batch files 😇

actually, it's about adding some colors in a batch file i created in which i think i have achieved switching color every after IP address  

however, my problem it will completely changed the color of the previous IP address being ping using the now present color-assigned to the current IP address 

i just want is to retain the color of the previous IP address being ping  


@echo off
:beginning

ping -n 7 24.120.201.37 

color 9

ping -n 7 24.120.201.38 

color 3

ping -n 7 24.120.201.49 

color 6

goto beginning

If you're using Windows 10, it looks like you can change colors by sending an actual escape character followed by a sequence:

If you're using Windows 10 you can install Linux and use Bash scripts.

hello justsomeguy 😉 and hi davej ☺️ 

at the moment, i'm using Windows 7 in which it's the reason i'm more into DOS commands 😐 

 

i just need to finish this program so at least i have my own customize monitoring system lol 😎

I don't think it's possible on the default command prompt in Windows 7.
