I have a simple batch file that currently all it does it tries to connect to a wifi network up to 10 times.
My trouble is that I am getting an unexpected output in my command prompt when it is ran.
Here is my batch script
setlocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion
echo.
echo.
:startSetVariables
set timeout="2"
set PINGS="4"
set pingtimeout="1000"
set endonfail="10"
set wifissid="ROGAR Production"
set /A COUNTER=1
:connectToTheInternet
echo checking internet connection
echo.
:connectToTheInternetRestart
ping -n 1 host | find /i "TTL=" >NUL && (
echo Internet connection already established, skipping to activation!
echo.
goto endNoShutdown
::toupd
) || (
::if failed endonfail times, give up
if "%COUNTER%"=="%endonfail%" (
echo Error: Could not connect to network %endonfail% times, stopping script.
echo.
goto endNoShutdown
)
::raise waiting time between connections
if "%COUNTER%"=="3" (
echo failed 2 times in a row. Increasing wait time between actions to 4 seconds.
echo.
set timeout=4
set /A COUNTER=COUNTER+1
) else if "%COUNTER%"=="5" (
echo failed 4 times in a row. Increasing wait time between actions to 6 seconds.
echo.
set timeout=6
set /A COUNTER=COUNTER+1
) else if "%COUNTER%"=="7" (
echo failed 6 times in a row. Increasing wait time between actions to 8 seconds.
echo.
set timeout=8
set /A COUNTER=COUNTER+1
) else if "%COUNTER%"=="9" (
echo failed 8 times in a row. Increasing wait time between actions to 10 seconds.
echo.
set timeout=10
set /A COUNTER=COUNTER+1
) else (
echo Wait time is currently %timeout% seconds.
set /A COUNTER=COUNTER+1
)
echo Attempt #%COUNTER%.
::disconnect existing network
netsh wlan disconnect
netsh wlan delete profile name="%wifissid%"
timeout /t 1 /nobreak
echo.
::attempt connection
netsh wlan add profile filename="connection.xml"
netsh wlan connect name="%wifissid%" ssid="%wifissid%"
timeout /t %timeout% /nobreak
::check connection
set internet=false
Ping google.com -n 1 -w %pingtimeout%
if errorlevel 1 (
set internet=Failed
) else (
set internet=Connected
)
::check pings
ping -n 1 host | find /i "TTL=" >NUL && (
echo Successfully connected! Starting activation check.
echo.
goto endNoShutdown
::toupd
) || (
echo Connection attempt failed. Starting attempt #%COUNTER% in 3 seconds.
echo.
timeout /t 3 /nobreak
cls
goto connectToTheInternetRestart
)
)
:endShutdown
echo Releasing wifi, shutting down computer.
netsh wlan delete profile name="%wifissid%"
pause
shutdown /s
:endNoShutdown
echo Releasing wifi, ending without shutdown.
netsh wlan delete profile name="%wifissid%"
I believe every opening parentheses has a partner closing parentheses, but my output says otherwise.
Here is my output (I've disabled @ECHO OFF to see where the error actually starts. (o) stands for actual output):
>set /A COUNTER=1
>echo checking internet connection
checking internet connection (o)
>echo.
Ping google.com -n 1 -w 1000
Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again. (o - should return errorlevel 1, meaning the following should resolve to else)
>echo Internet access: Failed
Internet access: Failed (o)
>echo.
) was unexpected at this time. (o)
> ) || (
Then the script ends without anything else.
