Check if process returns 0 with batch file
ERRORLEVEL
will contain the return code of the last command. Sadly you can only check >=
for it.
Note specifically this line in the MSDN documentation for the If
statement:
errorlevel Number
Specifies a true condition only if the previous program run by Cmd.exe returned an exit code equal to or greater than Number.
So to check for 0 you need to think outside the box:
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO errorHandling
REM no error here, errolevel == 0
:errorHandling
Or if you want to code error handling first:
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO no_error
REM errorhandling, errorlevel >= 1
:no_error

How to write a compound statement with if?
You can write a compound statement in an if block using parenthesis. The first parenthesis must come on the line with the if and the second on a line by itself.
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
echo ErrorLevel is zero
echo A second statement
) else if %ERRORLEVEL% == 1 (
echo ErrorLevel is one
echo A second statement
) else (
echo ErrorLevel is > 1
echo A second statement
)
