Dos

[lynger]

hi!
Im making a program that would get the average ping from dos and print it to a note pad or word document..
Is this possible?

thank you,
Pls. help!

I dont think you can VB is way high level... But you can easily do it in DOS just do

ping so.me.i.p >> filename

if anyone wants to have a look at the vb code .. i posted it at http://pub13.ezboard.com/fvisualbasi...cID=4160.topic

i did download from another page not that long ago .. i forgot which page though

it seems to work for me .. but i didnt have time to play with it for real, just saved it for future uses

If you wanted to do this in any programming language, you would need to create a pipe going from the caller to the callee, and then another pipe returning the result from the callee to the caller, this requires quite some coding.

In C I would guess it couldn't be done in less than 40 lines of code.. So if you have the option to just use a simple script and take advantage of the pipe directors in the shell, I would chose that.
