Ok,
here is my test ping code,
My errors are indentations, no matter what I try
either 4 or 8 indentations, I can't get this to work, each time
I Run the code; it keeps suggesting indentation errors.
Once this section of the code is corrected and actually creates
the log file, I hope to move on to the next section of the entire process.
Reason for the ping test and the variables,
A: To confirm it will query
B: to log a log in txt which I'm having trouble with the txt files further down the script.
C: why this web page ? Because it's something to identify with.
note: Run Error message is below the script
