I am trying to write a C++ function to do a ping on a known IP address and then parse the output to see if "1 packet transmitted, 1 received..." is printed.
I am new to this kind of programming and these commands and using Linux.
I am thinking something along the lines of
system("ping IP_ADDR_DEFINE -c 1");
to start with , but don't to where to go from here to save the output and parse the output.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You'll be wanting this then.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Can you please provide me with an example of how to use that function in junction with ping?Originally Posted by Salem
