@error value returned from command line?

[dbpaquette]

Hi,

I would like to get the @error value from when you run a command that does not exist, as in the below code:

 ;intentionaly pass in an exe that is misspelled
 $CmdStatus = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "foo")
 $AtError = @error
 msgbox(48, "ERROR", "CmdStatus =" & $CmdStatus, 20)
 msgbox(48, "ERROR", "errorocde =" & $AtError, 20)
 If ($AtError <>0) Then
  $ScriptletExitCode = $AtError
  $ScriptletExitMessageStr = "Error running 'foo'."
  Return $ScriptletExitCode
 EndIf
 If ($CmdStatus <> 0) Then
  $ScriptletExitCode = $CmdStatus
  $ScriptletExitMessageStr = "Error from 'foo'."
  Return $ScriptletExitCode
 EndIf
 $ScriptletExitCode = $CmdStatus

In all cases I have tried @error=0, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ideally I would like to capture the case where the command cannot be launched with the @error value, and then use the return code from the command to catch errors the program reports.

Thanks!!!

dbpaquette Welcom to autoit forum please type your autoit code in Code option.

The reason you're getting 0 is because AutoIt is doing exactly what you told it to do, open a command line and type in the command 'foo', so of course @error is not going to be set. Try running the application directly from AutoIt, rather than through command line; this way you can capture the @error information.
