Batch Processing


SmartWhois can process lists of IP addresses, hostnames, or domain names saved as plain text (ASCII) or Unicode files. The valid format for such batch files is simple: each line must begin with an IP address, hostname, or domain. If you want to process domain names, they must be located in a separate file from IP addresses and hostnames. If an IP address, hostname, or domain name is followed by other characters/words placed on the same line, there must be at least one space separating them from the first word on a line. Below is an example of a batch file, which is a standard web server log:

133.169.11.1 - - [10/Apr/2000:08:09:32 -0400] "GET /en.htm HTTP/1.0" 200 5413 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)"
24.19.132.144 - - [10/Apr/2000:08:09:33 -0400] "GET /images/l2.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 848 "http://www.tamos.com/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"  
194.45.56.32 - - [10/Apr/2000:08:09:34 -0400] "GET /download.htm HTTP/1.0" 200 10921 "http://www.tamos.com/" "Mozilla/4.61 [en] (WinNT; I)"

Another sample batch file:

203.160.224.66
199.107.4.10
ns0.apecs.co.jp
161.196.244.104
24.94.163.6
pool0142.cvx25-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net
210.145.100.82

An example of a domain name batch file:
