                print(el)
        # last availability status is True
        if re.findall("Reply from \d+.\d+.\d+.\d+: bytes=\d+ time<\d+ms TTL=\d+", state):
            print('*** {0} is available ***'.format(host))
            return True
        # last availability status is False
        else:
            print('*** {0} is unavailable ***'.format(host))
