Errorlevel

Errorlevel

[Gluszczak, Glenn]

Is this a known defect?  The errorlevel of the ls command is passed to the echo.

$ cmd
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]

C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>del c:\tmp\hello
del c:\tmp\hello
Could Not Find c:\tmp\hello

C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>ls foo
ls foo
ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory

C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>echo hello > c:\tmp\hello
echo hello > c:\tmp\hello

C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>echo %errorlevel%
echo %errorlevel%
2

C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>del c:\tmp\hello
del c:\tmp\hello

C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>echo hello > c:\tmp\hello
echo hello > c:\tmp\hello

C:\cygwin64\home\Administrator>echo %errorlevel%
echo %errorlevel%
0

In appereance it happens with standard DOS commands too:


C:\windows\system32>dir foo

 Directorio de C:\windows\system32

No se encuentra el archivo

C:\windows\system32>echo %errorlevel%
1

C:\windows\system32>ls foo
ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory

C:\windows\system32>echo %errorlevel%
2

C:\windows\system32>dir foo

 Directorio de C:\windows\system32

No se encuentra el archivo

C:\windows\system32>echo %errorlevel%
1

Sorry it's a Windows defect.  Builtin CMD echo does not set an errorlevel.

Since it is a documented effect, it's a feature.
Internal commands do not set %ERRORLEVEL%.
