Question
Sometimes I run a command in cmd such as:
fc /b file1 file2
and would like to see the return code from fc. Is there a simple way to do this?
Solution
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
From TechNet, Command shell overview: "%ERRORLEVEL% ... Returns the error code of the most recently used command. A non zero value usually indicates an error."
To test for specific error levels in batch files, you may find this knowledgebase article useful.
