The INVOKE command just runs a program and then returns the exit code (aka the "error level"). It can do a few other things, but that's the main function of INVOKE. If you don't need the other features (like redirecting stderr to stdout) you can do the same thing if you just run a command then "echo" the ERRORLEVEL variable: ECHO %ERRORLEVEL% For example: D:\TEMP>invoke CHOICE Invoking: CHOICE [Y,N]?Y Returning: 1 or: D:\TEMP>CHOICE [Y,N]?Y D:\TEMP>echo %ERRORLEVEL% 1 For reference, the full usage of INVOKE: >D:\TEMP\DOSUTILS>invoke /? > > INVOKE 1.1 by Jürgen Hoffmann (2010) j_h...@hrz1.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de > > usage: invoke [ options ] <program> [ arguments for program ] > > valid options are: > /D discard stderr > /P propagate result > /Q quiet operation > /R re-direct stderr into stdout > /H /? print this helptext _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
