RUN command question

[Steve T]

I want to run a test ping at yahoo.com of 50 pings and see what the response
times are. I need to do at least 50 pings and see the high, low and average.
The command I have is (ping -t www.yahoo.com) which opens the window and
just keeps running until I close it. How do I get the results saved to a
text file where I can see the results? I can't remember too many DOS
commands from the past. Thanks, Steve T

Sorry guys, neither of these commands work on the XP. The command shell
opens and closes almost immediately with no resulting text file anywhere.
Running the command I listed (ping -t www.yahoo.com) takes about 30 seconds
for 50 pings. Thanks, Steve T.

Of course. There is nothing to do redirection. Type it in a command prompt.

Steve,

if you first open DOS-prompt (cmd.exe) and then ping a host from there
(ping -t www.yahoo.com) then you can see pinging in real time, and after
you are done, it stays on your screen until you close DOS prompt (exit).

It works just as well with its output redirected to a file
(>C:\ping.txt), except in this case nothing appears on your screen.

Thank you. I told you I didn't remember any DOS. Steve T
