How to command “Ping” display time and date of ping

Question

When I ping I have this display:

> ping -i 4 www.google.fr 
64 bytes from wi-in-f94.1e100.net (173.194.67.94): icmp_seq=503 ttl=46 time=45.5 ms
.......
.......
64 bytes from wi-in-f94.1e100.net (173.194.67.94): icmp_seq=508 ttl=46 time=44.9 ms
64 bytes from wi-in-f94.1e100.net (173.194.67.94): icmp_seq=509 ttl=46 time=45.1 ms

I'd like to have the time of the ping before.

Something like:

> (right functions) + ping -i 7 www.google.fr 
mardi 15 mai 2012, 10:29:06 (UTC+0200) - 64 bytes from wi-in-f94.1e100.net (173.194.67.94): icmp_seq=503 ttl=46 time=45.5 ms
.......
.......
mardi 15 mai 2012, 10:29:13 (UTC+0200) - 64 bytes from wi-in-f94.1e100.net (173.194.67.94): icmp_seq=508 ttl=46 time=44.9 ms
mardi 15 mai 2012, 10:29:20 (UTC+0200) - 64 bytes from wi-in-f94.1e100.net (173.194.67.94): icmp_seq=509 ttl=46 time=45.1 ms

How would you do this in a command line (if it's possible)?

Answer 1

Use:

ping www.google.fr | while read pong; do echo "$(date): $pong"; done

You will get the result like this:
