Java Programming

Hello everyone,

Ping command is same in all the operating systems so I am simulating the ping command as follows:-

 
import java.util.*;

public class PingDemo {

public void ping(String host) {

  try {
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ping "+host);
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(p.getInputStream());
    while(scan.hasNextLine()){
      System.out.println(scan.nextLine());
    }
  }catch(Exception ex){
    System.out.println("Error "+ex);
   }
}

public static void main(String args[]){
  PingDemo p=new PingDemo();
  p.ping(args[0]);
  }
}

but the output has extra line spacing, snapshot of the o/p is as follows:-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\Language\Java\MyJava>java PingDemo 127.0.0.1


Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:



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

Here if I remove System.out.println with System.out.print then the output comes in a single line which looks odd.

So, is there a way to remove those extra lines in between as it occurs in normal ping command?

Thanking in advance.

Regards,
