CMD Command Line:
One CMD command, one command row, no BAT file. Is there a chance to get the ERRORLEVEL directly written in a TXT file?

I tried but I failed.

I don't want to create and save a BAT file each time.

I would prefer the simpler way: CMD single command plus export of the ERRORLEVEL in a TXT file, all in one command line.

You could run a separate instance of cmd with delayed expansion enabled


It might be easier to use conditional command chaining though.

Hi Steffen,

I need something like this:

( commandToExecute ) & echo %errorlevel%>"file.txt"

I want the error level integer value (0 or 2 or 5 or something else) get written in the txt file. Only that value.

What about my first suggestion? (dir :* is only an example that generates errorlevel 1)


Steffen

Hello Steffen,

when I execute

cmd /von ""C:\Program Files\testapp\testapp.exe" &>"file.txt" echo !errorlevel!"

nothing happens.

The /c switch was missing (I already corrected the line above).
If this doesn't help use CALL to run the program. (Sometimes pathes in quotes won't execute.)

Hello Steffen,

it works! Many thanks!

Have a nice day!
