retrieve the return code of the program

[zzen11 0]

How do I retrieve the return code of a program. For example, I can use the RunWait("program.exe"). how do I retrieve the return code generated by the program.exe (like errorlevel)?

$errorcode = RunWait("program.exe")

It's in the help file.

$errorcode = RunWait("program.exe")

Well, the return value here from RunWait() is about RunWait() call, not the return value by the "program.exe". Edited May 10, 2005 by zzen11

If program.exe ran correctly, $errorcode should be 0, in Ejocs example.

The problem I try to solve is that the program.exe can return different values when it quits. I want to get those values.

I made an example for you, just compile the first two into executables.

return1.au3:

exit(1)

return2.au3:

exit(2)

errorcode.au3:

$ret = runwait("return1.exe")
msgbox(0,"",$ret)

$ret = runwait("return2.exe")
msgbox(0,"",$ret)
