Ping Script

[Panacea]

Hello,

I am new and exploring, Auto it, i was by some examples able to write a simple program, but i need some little understanding

Here is script

Send("#r")

WinWaitActive("Run")

Send("cmd.exe{Enter}")

WinWaitActive("")

Local $begin=TimerInit()

Send("ping 4.2.2.2 -t{Enter}")

sleep(3000)

Local $dif=TimerDiff($begin)

Send("^C")

I originally did not have WinWaitActive("")and i would get ng 4.2.2.2 -t and of course disaster, but i wanted to know why, this occured, i run a Vista Machine, is it due to the fact that my operating system is slow.

One more question, when i do not close this window, and i run the script again, the sleep function seems to be passive, any reason.

Thanks

From the help:

Local $var = Ping("www.AutoItScript.com", 250)
If $var Then; also possible:  If @error = 0 Then ...
    MsgBox(0, "Status", "Online, roundtrip was:" & $var)
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Status", "An error occured with number: " & @error)
EndIf

And also you can use Run for call directly cmd and the parameter without using Sleep, WinWait etc.

Thank you very much for the reply. I am a newbie so everything exites me. So i was think how i can open a file and then and see the laptop do it, my purpose was only not to run a ping . But in either case, could you tell me any place where i can find a keywords for this like it did not no ping existed. .

Thanks
