I've got a batch file that parses a bunch of file names out of a text file and concatenates them into a single strong - it was previously discussed here. However, I don't want the string to contain a file if the file throw an error when I run it through some command (like a VCS check, for example). Here's my attempt:
set FILE_LIST=
for /f %%x in (temp.txt) do (
:: perform a VCS test
accurev diff -b %%x
:: skip concatenation if error level is > 2
IF errorlevel 2 GOTO NEXT
:: perform the concatenation
set FILE_LIST=!FILE_LIST! %%x
:NEXT
:: print a message if here due to an error above
IF errorlevel 2 echo VCS problem with this file: %%x
)
The problem is - the script appears to stop executing the entire for-loop as soon as it finds one errorlevel greater than 2. If there are five files in the list and the third one has a VCS problem - the script only handles the first two.
