Hi. I'm trying to issue a "pause" whenever my compiler echos back an error it FOUND in one of my files. The ":Compile" section below is where I'm having difficulty.

:Begin
for %%f in (*.prg) do (call :Compile "%%f")
goto End

:Compile
// The following is pseudo-code of what I'd like it to do:
if "Error" is in (Compile.exe %1) do (
Echo Error Discovered!
pause
)
goto :eof

:End


Thanks.
Not all programs USE return codes as indicators or success or failure. This may work for you:

Code: [Select]:Begin
for %%f in (*.prg) do (call :Compile "%%f")
goto End

:Compile
// The following is pseudo-code of what I'd like it to do:
Compile.exe %1
if errorlevel 1 (Echo Error Discovered!) else (echo No Error Discovered!)
pause
)
goto :eof

:End

Hope this helps!

PS. If your compiler outputs a log file indicating success or failure, you could use the find command after the compiler runs. Just a thought.Hi Sidwinder. Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately my compiler doesn't return any errorlevels.
It doesn't create a log either, but I could REDIRECT the output to a file of course, then do a find. I would have to display the error to the screen after though. Seems COMPLEX.

SOMETHING like:

:Compile
Compile.exe %1 > errorlog.txt
// pseudo-code:
If "Error" is inside errorlog.txt then Echo contents of errorlog.txt
Else do nothing

It needn't be complex. If you direct the output to a file, you can use find to look for a string that indicates success. If the errorlevel from the find is zero the compile succeeded. If it's not zero it failed.

I guessing there is something in the output that indicates success or failure.



Thanks again. I have it working.
