I have no idea if the code below can be any use for iOS. It was posted by
Phil Davis a few months back and I use it in my desktop apps. Obviously
the switch commands for the desktop platforms are not relevant but perhaps
the methodology could still work.
*function* appIsConnected purl
*local* tShellOutput,tResult
*switch* (the platform)
*case* "MacOS"
*put* shell("ping -c 1 -t 5" && purl) into tShellOutput
*put* the result into tResult
*break*
*case* "Win32" *-- PD 20100411*
*set* the hideConsoleWindows to true
*put* shell("ping -n 1 -w 5000" && purl) into tShellOutput
*put* the result into tResult
*break*
*case* "Linux"
*put* shell("ping -c 1 -w 5") && purl into tShellOutput
*put* the result into tResult
*break*
*default* *-- all other OSes*
*put* param(0) & colon && the platform && "platform not supported"
into tResult
*break*
*end* *switch*
*-- check for connection failure*
*if* tResult <> empty *then*
*return* false *-- failed*
*else* *-- connected, but how well?*
*set* the itemDel to comma
*switch* the platform
*case* "Win32"
*get* tShellOutput
*filter* it with "*(0% loss)*"
*break*
*case* "MacOS"
*repeat* for each item tFilter in "* 0% packet loss*,* 0.0%
packet loss*" *-- for different OS versons*
*get* tShellOutput
*filter* it with tFilter
*if* it <> empty *then* *exit* *repeat*
*end* *repeat*
*break*
*end* *switch*
*return* (it <> empty)
*end* *if*
*end* appIsConnected
