Convert Ping or Tracert Output to Text File?

[Shel]

Is there any way to convert the results of a ping or tracert to a text
file?

Many thanks.

Hi

After you have entered the ping/tracert command at the command prompt, add
the following on to the end

ping.txt

That will create a file named 'ping.txt' in the folder where you executed
the ping command. The same works for tracert. You can name the .txt file
anything you like.

I tried ping pcworld.com ping.txt.
I got the response, "Bad parameter ping.txt." What am I doing wrong?

Copy/paste the following into a command prompt and then press Enter:

ping pcworld.com > ping.txt

Hi

I meant to add - you need the re-direction arrow

so as to create the .txt file.

Just to add something that may be useful.
You can use >> if you want to append the output to the file

eg
ping pcworld.com >> ping.txt.
