how to save ping results in a text file

[india215]

Hello all,

Iam trying to save the ping results obatined in a text file in c++.

Below is a copy of my code. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I keep getting this error:

c_str()) was unexpected at this time.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

static string host;
static string ping_again;

void ping()
{
     int j,ep;
     char wait1;
     j=2;
     
     cout << "Host: ";
     cin >> host;
     
         
     for(ep1=0;ep1<k;ep1++)
     { 
     
    
     
     
     system ("(ping + host).c_str()) >> myfile.txt ");
     
     
     //system("dir > myfile.txt");
     
     cout << endl;
     }
     
     cout<< "wait";
     cin>>wait1;
}

int main()
{
     SetConsoleTitle("Ping in C++ by india215");
     ping();
     
     return(0);
}

The problem is this line
system ("(ping + host).c_str()) >> myfile.txt ");

Create the string with required args and then pass the same to system and u will get the desired results.
