Adding results of Dos commands to a file

[G Mills]

Does anyone know how you may be able to store the results of a ping command in a text file?

I have been able to run the ping using the followin code:

Gateway = Dialog.Input("Enter Default Gateway", "What is the Address of your default gateway:", "", MB_ICONQUESTION);
Shell.Execute("ping", "open", Gateway, "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

My problem is being able to add the ping results to a text file. Any clues?

Ping 192.168.1.15>ping.txt you can also specify the path to the ping.txt file. The > will redirect the out put for you, this is an OLD dos method but works in XP.


ping x.x.x.x>text file name


Shell.Execute("ping", "open", Gateway..">ping.txt", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

I did not run it but that should work.

I actual was able to make this work with this:

Shell.Execute("CMD", "open", "/C Ping "..Gateway..">ping.txt", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);
