Hi —<\/p>\n

I’m in need of some assistance in creating a batch file that will edit\/delete an IP out of the Host file.
\n—————–
\nI just started learning on how to create batch files so try and give a small explanation on your help please…
\nHere’s what I have so far.<\/p>\n

@echo off<\/p>\n

echo 1 is for Denver<\/p>\n

echo 2 is for Los Angeles<\/p>\n

set input=
\nset \/p input=enter your option –<\/p>\n

if %input%==1 goto 1
\nif %input%==2 goto 2<\/p>\n

:1
\necho 192.168.X.XX test.test.com>>c:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts
\necho Host file has been set to point to Denver.
\npause<\/p>\n

:2
\necho Host file has been set to point to Los Angeles.
\npause
\n—————–<\/p>\n

As you can see…
\n-I have it set to where prompt asks you where you want your host file pointing.
\n-When the user selects 1, it updates the Hosts file with the IP address wanted.<\/p>\n

Now, I want option 2 to remove that IP address, that way it reverts the Hosts file back to normal.<\/p>\n

Any help is appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":16},"question-category":[55],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-6858","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-programming"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/6858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=6858"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=6858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
