Dos Script Error Handling
an asp.net solution. I've been Googling a bit for a general error handling approach and can't find anything really useful. Basically if any thing goes wrong I want to stop and print out what went wrong. Can anyone give me any pointers? batch-file share|improve this question edited Apr 29 '14 at 11:28 John Saunders 138k20175321 asked Jul 22 '09 at 9:15 bplus 2,87494574 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote batch file error handling tutorial 34 down vote I generally find the conditional command concatenation operators much more convenient than ERRORLEVEL. yourCommand && ( echo yourCommand was successful ) || ( echo yourCommand failed ) There is one complication you should be aware of. The error branch will fire if the last command in the success branch raises an error. yourCommand && ( someCommandThatMayFail ) || ( echo This will fire if yourCommand or someCommandThatMayFail raises an error ) The fix is to insert a harmless command that is guaranteed to succeed at the end of the success branch. I like to use (call ), which does nothing except set the ERRORLEVEL to 0. There is a corollary (call) that does nothing except set the ERRORLEVEL to 1. yourCommand && ( someCommandThatMayFail (call ) ) || ( echo This can only fire if yourCommand raises an error ) See Foolproof way to check for nonzero (error) return code in windows batch file for examples of the intricacies needed when using ERRORLEVEL to detect errors. share|improve this answer edited Apr 29 '14 at 11:24 answered Jun 13 '13 at 11:27 dbenham 77.9k11114179 Would u mind to provide a simple example with copy or del commands, pls? –Dimi Dec 17 '13 at 14:00 Much nicer than keeping track of ERRORLEVEL, thanks! –

Alan Wanwierd Ranch windows batch error handling Hand Posts: 624 posted 8 years ago I'm writing a spring batch error handling batch file to join together a bunch of processes triggered by batch files... When bash error handling everything works its great, but my error handling sucks. I've tried using the %ERRORLEVEL% variable to crudely trap my errors, but my outer calling batch http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1164049/batch-files-error-handling file never goes into error: call Batch1.bat if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto failed echo ...Completed Batch1, %ERRORLEVEL% call Batch2.bat if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto failed echo ...Completed Batch2, %ERRORLEVEL% Call Batch3.bat if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto failed echo ...Completed Batch3, %ERRORLEVEL% goto end :failed echo ....ERROR Please check logs https://coderanch.com/t/132733/gc/DOS-batch-file-error-handling for further details, %ERRORLEVEL% :end endlocal The output I end up with is: ...Completed Batch1, 0 .......BATCH2 ERRROR, Please check logs for details ...Completed Batch2, 0 ...Completed Batch3, 0 Obviously the Batch2.bat file is erroring - but the error is not being passed back. Is there a way around this?

don't make any sense. I'm sure they made perfect sense to me at the time. ;-) Wednesday, October 5, 2011 Common DOS batch file error handling mistakes I make http://armillz.blogspot.com/2011/10/common-dos-batch-file-error-handling.html I write a decent amount of batch scripts now days to automate things on https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/eca202a4-c8f3-40b6-a8b4-f4dad9682d55/add-simple-error-handling-to-cmd-file?forum=ITCG windows server boxes. Unfortunately, I don't do it quite frequently enough to remember all the crazy syntax of DOS commands. One of these errors is error handling. These are the things I commonly need to deal with. I found this page (and site) very helpful for all DOS related stuff: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/errorlevel.php Use "IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 SET MYERROR=1" to error handling record whether the previous command resulted in an error code. Alternately, you can check for "IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ..." if you want to look for a specific error level. Be cautious of manipulations with ERRORLEVEL. It's not really an environment variable like other variables. In particular, do NOT ever use "set ERRORLEVEL=5" or similar. It will corrupt any further use of %ERRORLEVEL% syntax by fixing it at a value. Use "CALL FOO.BAT" instead error handling bat of just "FOO.BAT" when calling subscripts. Otherwise, when that script completes it will not return to the current script. Use "EXIT /B 1" to return an exit code from your script. If you use "EXIT 1" it will exit the entire command shell, including closing your current window if it's running in one. Consider using SETLOCAL and ENDLOCAL within your script to prevent temporary environment variables from carrying through to outer shells. Below is an example script. :: Sample script with some error handling SETLOCAL SET MYPARAM=%1 if "%MYPARAM%"=="" goto :USAGE CALL .\childscript.bat %MYPARAM% if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 set MYERROR=1 echo. echo Finished child script. Handling errors now... if %MYERROR%==1 GOTO :ERROR echo It worked! ENDLOCAL set SOME_EXTERNAL_VARIABLE=1 GOTO :EOF :USAGE echo Please provide a command line parameter. EXIT /B 2 :ERROR echo It didn't work, dude. EXIT /B 1 Update: I was wrong about the ERRORLEVEL syntax earlier, so I updated after some testing.

Question 0 Sign in to vote How do I add simple error handling to the script in a .cmd file? For example, if I have: RENAME C:\MyDir\MyFile.txt MyFilexxx.txt And I get an error like "The system cannot find the file specified.", how do prevent it from executing the rest of the script in the cmd file and instead exit (somewhat) gracefully?Thanks,-Dave Friday, August 21, 2009 12:57 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote RENAME C:\MyDir\MyFile.txt MyFilexxx.txt IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 GOTO END REM here goes the rest of the script :END Marked as answer by dgolds Friday, August 21, 2009 3:34 PM Friday, August 21, 2009 5:53 AM Reply | Quote Microsoft is conducting an online survey to understand your opinion of the Technet Web site.
