but you might want to direct people directly to

rather than

Ping again...
Hello all,
many thanks for your answers.
The sources mentioned are nice, but I have the following problem:
All the code that I can find there relies on the Windows command prompt Ping function. It actually executes the ping command from Windows.
This is not very useful because the output of a command prompt ping is a big paragraph of info. And in my case where the Windows installation is not in English, even less useful.
Any other info that someone has on how to ping and actually have useful feedback inside Revolution? For example, some kind of function that would return true if host is live and false if host was not reached.
Maybe there is a product by someone somewhere?
Many thanks

Hi Dennis,
The example at runrev.info is for Mac OS X. I didn't know you were asking for a Windows example. Have you actually tried using the ping command on Windows? With smart parsing, you should be able to retrieve the relevant information, regardless of the language.
Best,
Mark
