returned value from batch file

[Vaj]

HI

I am calling bath file from CVI (win os):

int p_f= system ("C:\\Program Files\\BurnInTest\\_1.bat ");

when _1.bat call to another program, this program return 1 or 0.

After 'system' command, p_f always zero (its mean system command had no errors), but i want return value.

I try 'EXIT 5' (return 5) directly from _1.bat and still read 0

This old thread may give you some idea:

using "cmd /c net name" with LabWindows cvi and get the answer to the cvi variables

A little note on the situation with modern releases of the OS: if you install your app in Program Files folder you may not able to create a file in the application folder and write to it, so it may be better to put the output file in another folder where you have write access.

My solution, in the END:

For pass writhe 1 to text file and 0 for fail.

The i read this text file from my programm
