Okay, so &quot;&quot;s indicate string, No &quot;&quot;s indicate number, right? <br />
<br />
I'm using this command, which you gave me last night, to copy modified files and set %TOTAL% to the number of files copied:<br />
for /f &quot;tokens=1&quot; %%a in ('xcopy c:\Folder1 e:\Backup /s ^| find &quot;File(s)&quot;') do SET TOTAL=%%a<br />
<br />
IF XCOPY in the above command has an error, then the ERRORLEVEL is &gt;&nbsp;0 and the process jumps to another section to report an error. That should work shouldn't it?<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the help.

<div>
Yes. Typically the app not sure if XCOPY follows this but <br />
<br />
ERRORLEVEL is not to be confused with %ERRORLEVEL%<br />
<br />
%ERRORLEVEL% will only ever have 1 number. Not necessarily 1 when there is an error but ERRORLEVEL 1 will always (since I've been using it) be set when there was an error.

Hi,<br />
I am trying to get the following to work in a batch. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this? I can't figure it out. This section is run by &quot;IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO:Report&quot;. Even when the error level is 0 (confirmed by echoing the error level) nothing in this section runs.<br />
Thank You.<br />

Batch file

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
