I want to get the ping execution time and result in string after ping host

Question

I want to get the ping execution time and result in string after ping host. How can I do it?

Answer 1

This is how I used it -

private static void checkPing(String hostName) {

    String[] command = { "cmd.exe", "/C", "ping " + hostName };
    try {
        Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
        BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
        String readline;
        while ((readline = buff.readLine()) != null) {
            if (readline.contains("Reply")) {
                System.out.println("Pinged " + hostName + " in : "
                        + readline.substring(readline.indexOf("time=") + 5, readline.indexOf("ms")) + " ms");
            }
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Gives you the exact (reliable) ping latency in milliseconds for each ping request. You can then add the four of them, if required
