# Script has 2 arguments: 
# - Threads - number of threads
# - Address - an array of ip addresses. You can use this: 1..254 | ${"192.168.1.$_"} 

# Call example:
#  .\ThreadPing.ps1 -Address (1..20|%{"192.168.1.$_"}) -threads 5
# .\ThreadPing.ps1 -Address (1..254|%{"192.168.1.$_"}) -threads 20 | where {$_.status -eq "success"}
#
# $IPs = 1..3 | %{$s=$_; 1..254 | %{"192.168.$s.$_"}}
# .\ThreadPing.ps1 -Address $Ips -threads 20 | 	where {$_.status -eq "success"} | Select -expandproperty Address
