Thread: stumped

What you can you is call the 'ping' from inside you program using the system() function. In your call you can redirect the output of ping to a file. After ping did its job, you can read the contents of the file and sort the data based on your needs.

^ from some other thread....

i have tried to a_file<<system(Doscommand)<<endl; but all that will return is 0... so help me i have been trying this forever grrrr...

Try this:
system("Doscommand >> filename.txt")

For example:
system("dir >> filename.txt")

will send the output of the dir command to filename.txt.

A single > will also work:
system("dir > filename.txt")
