Hi all,

1. I'm trying to write a windows bat file that runs some exe,

and saves it exit code in some local variable.

@echo off

start %~f1

but I'm missing the exit code assignment to the local variable.

2. Are there any other available details I can collect from a exe termination into local variable in a bat file?

Stack Trace ...any other ideas ?

Thanks

When a programme terminates the exit code is assigned to the special variable ERRORLEVEL.

if reference[^]

batch files reference[^]
e.g.

@echo off
prog.exe
echo %errorlevel%

Be aware that the START command, depending on the arguments supplied, may invoke a new copy of the command processor. If that happens the exit code from the exe will be not be available in the original context.

Not that I know of.
