Error Handling in Batch Script

Hi,

I have a script for deleting files from specific folders -

forfiles /P X:\<path> /D -7 /M *.* /S /C "cmd /C del @path /Q"

I need to implement error handling like folder doesn't exist or files not there etc.

Kindly help me to write the same.

Thanks,

Sugata

there is not much of errorcontrol in batch.

%ERRORLEVEL% will contain the exit code of the last executed command. Check this on how to use this

Don't worry about trying to write code to catch errors and log information. Just use robocopy.

Robocopy is a built-in command.

There is no need to be helpless. You can find information if you search:

Note that this is not a support forum for the robocopy command.
