The ant commandline script under windows (NT/XP/etc.) returns either 0 or 1. A zero value indicates that the build was successful. A value of 1 indicates an error. Under Windows you can use the ERRORLEVEL variable to test the result of invoking ant. For example: CALL :execute-my-ant-build IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO :exit :execute-my-ant-build PUSHD my-dir\my-subdir CALL ant %* POPD GOTO :EOF :exit IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ECHO WOOPS, SOMETHING FAILED GOTO :EOF Cheers, Steve. -------------------------- Stephen McConnell mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dpml.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
