Solution 1

If you're looking to pause the "Reply from..." output by the PING command, you can't. PING has no facility to pause its operation.

You would have to write your own PING command to accomplish this.

How to create timer with pause/continue options?
Can give me example please?

You're going to have to be a lot more specific than that.

Are you still talking about doing this in a batch file? The only way to pause for a time is the Timeout command. Just type Timeout /? at a CMD prompt for how to use it.

You right , but the timeout command is stuck my code fllow , therefore i want to use the timer if it possible ?

How i could create button in batch?

You can't. Batch files do not support an "event driven", i.e.: on a Timer tick, format.

You cannot do what you apparently want to do with a batch file.

You still haven't described what you're really trying to do with this.

That makes no sense at all. Show the batch file you have.
