this should be so easy, yet I'm super lost. What am i doing wrong? :S
why is the errorlevel code being 50% ignored?

Code: Select all
if exist zzzplaces.sqlite ren places.sqlite zpirplaces.sqlite
echo %errorlevel%
::pause
SAME RESULT if not errorlevel 0 goto :ren1 // if errorlevel 0 goto :ren1
if errorlevel 1 goto :ren2
:ren1
ren zzzplaces.sqlite places.sqlite
goto end
::if exist zpirplaces.sqlite ren places.sqlite zzzplaces.sqlite
::if errorlevel 0 goto :ren2
:ren2
ren places.sqlite zzzplaces.sqlite
ren zpirplaces.sqlite places.sqlite
:end
pause

All is working as intended (by Microsoft).
The command "if errorlevel <number>" specifies a true condition only if the previous program run by Cmd.exe returned an exit code equal to
or greater than number.
Here you seeem to have changed your code:
Code: Select all
:: from
if errorlevel 0 goto :ren1
if errorlevel 1 goto :ren2
:: to
if errorlevel 1 goto :ren1
if errorlevel 0 goto :ren2
Herre the errorlevel changed from '1' to '0'.
