| find /v

Is there a way to remove extra (blank) lines? So like

Code: [Select]

ping www.yahoo.com |find /v "Pinging" | find /v "Reply" | find /v "Ping" | find /v "Packets" | find /v "Approximate"but without all the extra blank lines, so I can write it to a file and retreve it later?

EDIT:
still haven't found the delete button yet, but this was solved with:

Code: [Select]

ping www.yahoo.com |find "Min"

You sure over thought that one.

I quite like all those pipes...

For loops automatically skip over any blank lines, so try something like this:

Code: [Select]

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('ping www.computerhope.com') do echo %%a >> output.txt

That really has nothing to do with his problem.  He is just looking for the output of one line from the PING command.

Minimum = 66ms, Maximum = 161ms, Average = 126ms
