Ping plugin

penjuin · Post by **penjuin** » November 1st, 2005, 7:32 am

I have a pretty mangled router, so I wanted to know if it was on the internet or stuffing up. This plugin pings google.com. Please note that because of the fragile nature of ICMP, this may occasionally return a false positive. If there are any other troubles let me know.

Ping plugin is something I really need.
But, I am not good at programming, so I hope somebody will do it.
I was using jaLCDs, but it was unstable on my computer, it have support for ping.
This is thing which is really missing.

I really don't like to work on others ideas...
But I have a little program under development (published on my site) called i-Net which is a windows ping utility.
I had some plans to make a plugin for LCD Smartie for this program.
But all my plans stopped when a ping plugin was released.

Penjuin was to fast me...

Now I'm consider to start coding again.

Hey Penjuin, I really love your job!

Don't get mad of me

Thanks Limbo! I actually need a bit of help with the ping plugin. I have just returned from a long holiday and have decided to do some more electrical stuff. As you have no doubt read I am definitely not a delphi programmer. I am in need of delphi code that will split strings. For example, turning "Good|Bad" into two different variables, splitting at the "|" character. I can accomplish this in just about every other language I know, just not delphi

.

Any help would be great.

$dll(pingplugin.dll,1,good,bad) will return good or bad
$dll(pingplugin.dll,1,yay,nay) will return yay or nay

Change it to whatever you want
