Thanks for the solution guys.

But the above program is giving the output as :

If we print pingresult it is giving the output as :

['\r\n', 'Pinging 0.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:\r\n', '\r\n',
'Request timed out.\r\n', '\r\n', 'Ping statistics for 0.168.1.1:\r
\n', '    Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 0, Lost = 1 (100% loss),\r\n']

my requirement is

IP address and whether the machine is pinging or not. we should not
display the above output. However we can do it by using regular
expression or there is any other way. Please suggest.

Thanks,
Prasanth.
