VanDyke Software Forums - View Single Post - Script to execute a command based on ping result

Hi Knightmare,

You would want to use ReadString() instead of WaitForString() following sending the ping command so you actually capture the output so you can check it for the expected phrase.

Code:

crt.Screen.Send "ping 10.0.0.1" & vbcr
strResult = crt.Screen.ReadString("#")

If InStr(strResult, "100% packet loss") Then
    ' Run Command X
Else
    ' Run Command Y
End If

If your browser supports the site command (I know Edge does), you might run that with the search term ping because I think there are a few examples of this sprinkled throughout the forums (ie: site:forums.vandyke.com ping).
