using shell command to run ping and save the results

[nmrhth]

I want to run the ping program using the shell command and save the results to a text file. is there any way to have visual basic save the result of the ping operation?

something similar to

 

Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo
	pi.FileName = "ping.exe"
	pi.RedirectStandardOutput = True

	Dim p As New Process
	p.StartInfo = pi
	p.Start()
	Dim s As String = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd

 

should do it
