Shell Error Trap

[jeffward]

I have an existing .exe that I need to run and detect if any errors occurred.

I can run this with the shell command but this does not tell me if the application worked or not?

(I also have the full c++ source for the exe and looked at making it into a dll but as i dont know c or c++ this looked to daunting so i thought i would just run the compiled exe!)

I have seen some threads that discuss outputing the output from a batch job to a file and then reading the file but this seems a bit long winded when all i want is did it work or not (as if it didnt i can then investigate!)
