VB script to copy file is no response from PING

i dont see the scripting.filesystemobject being created, but since it's only one file to copy you should probably use shell or shellexecute

ok, sounds good, but I'm not sure about the usage on shell or shellexecute

I'm near enough a beginner on VB scripts

I just need to move a file or run a batch file if there is no response on ping

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Error Resume Next

Dim strTarget, strPingResults
strTarget = "10.78.33.253" 'IP address or hostname

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshExec = WshShell.Exec("ping -n 3 -w 2000 " & strTarget) 'send 3 echo requests, waiting 2secs each
strPingResults = LCase(WshExec.StdOut.ReadAll)
If InStr(strPingResults, "reply from") Then
Else
ObjShell.Exec d:\hello.bat, 0, True
End If

ObjShell.Exec "copy d:\hello.bat d:\destdir", 0, True

Its not coming up with an error, it is coming up with a box that I presume is pinging something, but the end result isn't happening - the file is not been copied

Dim strTarget, strPingResults
strTarget = "10.78.33.253" 'IP address or hostname

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ObjShell.Exec "copy d:\hello.bat d:\destdir", 0, True
End If

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshExec = WshShell.Exec("ping -n 3 -w 2000 " & "www.sr.net") 'send 3 echo requests, waiting 2secs each
strPingResults = LCase(WshExec.StdOut.ReadAll)
If InStr(strPingResults, "reply from") Then
Else
WshShell.Exec "copy C:\batch\*.eml q:\"
End If
End Sub

oops i left my testing url inthere
this gives me a file not found error so it is attempting to copy something

Tried the code below, no result and no error message. tried on both a Win7 machine and a 2008 server

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshExec = WshShell.Exec("ping -n 3 -w 2000 " & "www.yahoo.co.uk") 'send 3 echo requests, waiting 2secs each
strPingResults = LCase(WshExec.StdOut.ReadAll)
If InStr(strPingResults, "reply from") Then
WshShell.Exec "copy c:\new.txt c:\new"
Else
WshShell.Exec "copy c:\new.txt c:\new"
End If
End Sub
