Errorlevel

[Gluszczak, Glenn]

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

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

$ cmd

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%
