Checking return codes in Win 2000?

[Jitwad]

Is there a way to check a return code in Win2k?

e.g. using a command line tool -- is there a way to check a simple return code (like the $? command in UNIX) ?

Thanks.

In a batch file you can use -

if [not] errorlevel number command


errorlevel number
This specifies a true condition only if the previous program run by Cmd.exe returned an exit code equal to or greater than number.

oh - also

%errorlevel% expands into a string representation of the current value of errorlevel, provided that there is not already an environment variable with the name ERRORLEVEL, in which case you will get its value instead. After running a program, the following illustrates errorlevel use:
