China DOS Union

To All:

The following batch programs are about several algorithms for obtaining the ERRORLEVEL value generated when an external program exits in the DOS environment. Since the system factors have not been tested, please have the interested person do it on your behalf, and thank you for your correction!

For the program on how to set the ERRORLEVEL value, see:
http://model.chinajewelry.net/dos/dosbbs/dispbbs.asp?boardID=6&ID=9444

::geterror.bat - First version
::The most conventional and most beautiful algorithm, also the most lengthy and most inefficient algorithm
::I once saw it in a script enhancement tool kit, sighing that batch processing programs also have such algorithms
::I don't have the patience to write it all out, I believe you understand what I mean
@echo off
if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 set el=1
if errorlevel 1 if not errorlevel 2 set el=2
...........
if errorlevel 255 if not errorlevel 256 set el=255
::The last IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 256 in the sentence is actually unnecessary, but it's for the sake of formal beauty

::geterror.bat - Second version
::A second-rate improvement
::Reduced some IF NOT ERRORLEVEL but added SET EL=
::Someone once posted like this on the forum, which actually saves some bytes
::Still not fully written, please fill it in if you have the heart ;P
@echo off
if errorlevel 0 set el=0
::The above "if errorlevel 0" is actually unnecessary, and the reason is the same as above
if errorlevel 1 set el=1
if errorlevel 2 set el=2
......
if errorlevel 255 set el=255

::geterror.bat - Third version
::An algorithm with obvious improvement in efficiency, my initial improved version
::Using simple mathematical principles to make the frequently obtained low errorlevel values have better execution time
::Unfortunately, it's still too tiring to write, and the efficiency is still too low for high errorlevel values
@echo off
if not errorlevel 1 goto two0
if not errorlevel 2 goto two1
if not errorlevel 4 goto two2
if not errorlevel 8 goto two3
if not errorlevel 16 goto two4
if not errorlevel 32 goto two5
if not errorlevel 64 goto two6
if not errorlevel 128 goto two7
if not errorlevel 256 goto two8

:two0
set el=0
goto end

:two1
set el=1
goto end

:two2
if errorlevel 2 set el=2
if errorlevel 3 set el=3
goto end

:two3
if errorlevel 4 set el=4
if errorlevel 5 set el=5
...
goto end

:two4
...

......
if errorlevel 255 set el=255
goto end

:end

::geterror.bat - Forth version
::This is an algorithm that balances capacity and efficiency
::However, there is still slow acquisition with high ERRORLEVEL values, especially continuously generating and destroying DOS shells is more time-consuming
@echo off
set el=0
if not errorlevel 1 goto end
if not errorlevel 10 goto ten0
if not errorlevel 100 goto ten1
goto ten2

:ten0
for %%n in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do if errorlevel %%n set el=%%n
goto end

:ten1
for %%n in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do %comspec% /c for %%m in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do if errorlevel %%n%%m set el=%%n%%m
goto end

:ten2
for %%n in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do %comspec% /c for %%m in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do if errorlevel 1%%n%%m set el=1%%n%%m
for %%n in (1 2 3 4 5) do %comspec% /c for %%m in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) do if errorlevel 2%%n%%m set el=2%%n%%m
goto end

:end

I have also tried the method of getting the ERRORLEVEL value by writing batch processing myself, but it is too complicated and troublesome. It is still easier and more feasible to use tools like COMMAND/Z or ERR2ENV.

::geterror.bat - Fifth version
::Modified based on a similar program posted by Roy, the link is as follows:
::http://model.chinajewelry.net/dos/dosbbs/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=12&ID=9348&replyID=56640&skin=1
::This is a greatly improved algorithm. The algorithm idea changes from partition detection to digit detection.
::Nested loops are changed to parallel loops, and the time cost is reduced by an order of magnitude.
::The generation and destruction of the shell are also avoided. Even for obtaining high ERRORLEVEL values, it has good performance.
::The length is further reduced. This is basically the optimal algorithm for the loop algorithm.

::geterror.bat - Sixth version
::So testing is very important. Just found that there is a serious bug in the fifth version:
::Any errorlevel greater than or equal to 200 will be tested as 299. This is the revised version
