"find" looks for a word in a file, "ping" checks to see if a computer is
online and measures latency. What are they supposed to have in common?
Though, based on your subject line I guess it is a typo and you're curious
about the difference between "@ping" and "ping". The answer is: no difference
if you type on the command line directly, but if you put it in a batch file
the one without the @ will cause the command to be echoed to the console
before it is run, whereas the one with the @ will run without the command
being printed.
You can turn the echoing on and off for more than one line with "echo on"
and "echo off" - you will often see batch files with "@echo off" at the top -
turns off echo and doesn't ecen show the "echo off" command.
