dos output to text file

[byteme]

Could anybody please tell me why this doesn't work??

runwait("ping xxxxxx >c:\png.txt")

If I run ping xxxxxx >c:\png.txt from a dos prompt, it will push the result into the txt file.

If I run it like that, you see the dos box come up, no ping shows (but I'm sure it is doing it, since I tried removing the redirect to the txt file and it showed me the ping..), and no output to a txt file.

I have tried >> instead of > and it still didn't work...

Any ideas???

Thanks!
