Batch File - REN command's ErrorLevel returns 0 even on failure
- by FMFF
This is related to my earlier question.
ren "C:\Temp\%%A" "C:\Temp\%%A"
if errorlevel 0 (
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\cmdline\7za.exe" a -tzip -mx9 "C:\temp\Zip\%%A.zip" "C:\temp\%%A"
Move "C:\temp\%%A" "C:\Temp\Archive"
)
In the above, the IF evaluates to true always, even if REN command fails.
The idea is to check if a file is not locked by any other application, if not then Archive it and move it elsewhere.
How best to do this?
Thank you.
