Question

hta to ping like when pinging in cmd

Asked by: gecko_au2003

Been looking at win32_ping or win32_pingstatus and hta's and been playing around with it but have not gotten very far.

basically I would like 2 textual type fields ( one smaller one for myself to enter in either the ip address or hostname of the device to ping ) and then other larger textual field ) to display the output something like so

Pinging COMPUTER_NAME [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

Would later on like to add other functionality like nslookup etc but obviously just want a simple ping hta for the time being.

Can someone please help

Thanks

Is there anyway to hide the command prompt window or to use wmi instead of piping the output from the command prompt to the hta ?

by: sirbountyPosted on 2009-06-08 at 06:02:46ID: 24571393

Thought you wanted the results returned from the command 'ping'?
If not, then yes, there are ways to formulate the results many different ways.
The only way I know of to suppress the command window in an hta is to have the script create a temporary output file to be read in. A tad more complicated - but please detail precisely what direction you're wanting...wmi doesn't return the results in the format posted in your question...

by: gecko_au2003Posted on 2009-06-08 at 06:03:41ID: 24571406

The first one you posted does all the pinging and then outputs the results to the hta and I was hoping to see the output in real time so after its pinged each time to get it to update the html or output in the hta whether its directly in the hta as per the innerhtml or into a text field in the hta

the same as what you would see when pinging in command prompt

by: gecko_au2003Posted on 2009-06-08 at 06:04:37ID: 24571421

like if you logged into a linksys or other router you get the ping and nslook up buttons and when you press them you get a html window and it will literally show you the ping results in real time so was hoping to do something similiar or the same

by: sirbountyPosted on 2009-06-08 at 06:39:12ID: 24571847

This version uses WMI...it's formatted to basically look like the ping.exe results, although it only tests once.

Is there anyway to have a text field to enter the amount of times that I want it to be repeated ?

by: gecko_au2003Posted on 2009-06-08 at 07:39:27ID: 24572551

Just out of curiousty is it possible to use nslookup in wmi ?

by: sirbountyPosted on 2009-06-09 at 07:03:58ID: 24581245

This should do it.
And yes, you could perform an nslookup command, but again with the command window, unless you scripted something temporary to hide it...

Select all Open in new window

by: gecko_au2003Posted on 2009-06-10 at 00:35:01ID: 24588711

That's the 4 but maybe am expecting too much but it seems to just show all 4 ping results at once ( is that repeating the result of the first ping the same amount of times ? ) Just asking as all of the results show up all at once as apposed to doing the 4 pings one at a time

so ping ip_address

result one does ping and once done goes to the next ping...
result two does ping and once done goes to the next ping...

etc until you get to the last one and then it shows something like so

Ping statistics for IP_ADDRESS_HERE:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

But other then that great - if you can help me with just the latter part If need more help with seperating the ping results I can ask another question as obviously you have done a lot so far.

by: sirbountyPosted on 2009-06-10 at 04:33:59ID: 24590124

You are correct - I rushed through it and didn't span out the for loop far enough.
Please replace this sub - it should work (still rushing, so I didn't get to test it - but let me know).

Sub PingHost(strHost)
  PingResults.InnerHTML = "Pinging " & strHost & " with 32 bytes of data:<br />"
  For x = 1 to iPing  
     set objPing = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").ExecQuery _
      ("select * from Win32_PingStatus where address = '" & strHost & "'")
      for each objRetStatus in objPing
        If IsNull(objRetStatus.StatusCode) or objRetStatus.StatusCode<>0 then
            PingResults.InnerHTML = "Status code is " & objRetStatus.StatusCode
        Else
          Select Case objRetStatus.StatusCode
            Case 0
              PingResults.InnerHTML = PingResults.InnerHTML & "Reply from " & objRetStatus.Address & ": bytes=" & objRetStatus.BufferSize & " time:" & objRetStatus.ResponseTime & " TTL=" & objRetStatus.TimeToLive & "<br />"
            Case Else
          End Select
        End if
    Next 'for each objRetStatus
   Next 'x
End Sub

Done that but when I select to alter the amount of pings it buggers it up with an error message

and I dont get the stats at the end ie 4 sent, 4 recieved etc

I'll check it out shortly...

by: sirbountyPosted on 2009-06-10 at 08:31:05ID: 24592811

No luck...
It may be that the browser doesn't allow it, or that I'm simply not able to come up with a solution as you've described...
But even trying to force it to wait a bit before recycling generates a browser error about the script taking too long - which would have an adverse effect on what you're trying to accomplish.
Some other experts might have an idea on how to accomodate this, but I don't see a way around it. If you do choose to post a new question on that, let me know. I'd love to see how it's resolved...

can't you use the pause or sleep function for about 50 ie

wscript.sleep 50

or some value and then re do the ping so before the next command in between lines 16 and 17

If you can help me achieve the end part of the output so I get the stats with regards to the

sent = 4, recieved = 4, lost = 0 etc etc

No - sleep isn't a valid function in HTAs...

not even in vbscript ?

Well, it's not vbscript per se...
There are methods to get around it, but I didn't find any that were working properly for what you're trying to do...

Per http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/mar06/hey0330.mspx,

>>>Now, if youre not familiar with HTAs youre first thought will likely be, Just use Wscript.Sleep. (Incidentally, if youre not familiar with HTAs, you might want to wander over to the HTA Developers Center.) Thats a good thought, but it wont work. Why not? Thats because the Wscript object is a somewhat-unique object; for one thing, you cant actually create an instance of this object. Instead, the Wscript object is automatically provided for you any time youre running under Windows Script Host. And thats the problem right there: when youre running code within an HTA you are not running under Windows Script Host. Instead, youre running under the script host provided by Internet Explorer. Because youre not running under Windows Script Host you arent automatically given access to the Wscript object, and because you cant create the Wscript object on your own theres no way to access Wscript.Sleep. You are - in highly-technical terms - hosed.
This wouldnt be that big of a deal if Internet Explorer provided a method comparable to Wscript.Sleep; unfortunately, it doesnt. <<<

There is a work-around posted there that I didn't try yet, but the three that I did weren't producing what you're going for. You basically want a PING replacement HTA, and I don't see how one can be created to match it specifically...not without fudging the behavior. You may be able to 'fool' the user into thinking it's waiting X ms for each reply, but that's all it would be. The nature of the HTA is preventing that from dynamically updating the form. That's why I'd stated I've hit my limits with this one. I'd be curious on the solution, if there is one, but I've got no idea how to do it...

Something like

Location.Reload(True)

Any updates on the hta ?
