XCOPY errorlevels?

[Rick Charnes]

I'm writing a batch file for NT 4.0 that uses XCOPY. Does XCOPY return
errorlevels for things like 'file not found', 'disk write error', etc.,
that I can use in the batch file? Thanks.

The following provides a demonstration of 'xcopy' errorlevels.

I hope this helps.

@echo off

xcopy whatever wherever
if errorlevel 5 goto 5
if errorlevel 4 goto 4
if errorlevel 2 goto 2
if errorlevel 1 goto 1

:ok
echo Files were copied without error.
goto exit

:1
echo No files were found to copy.
goto exit

:2
echo The user pressed CTRL+C to terminate xcopy.
goto exit

:4
echo Not enough memory or disk space, or invalid drive name or syntax.
goto exit

:5
echo Disk write error occurred.

:exit
