How to return an error code from a process that runs in another cmd window (windows)

Question

I'm running a script from the cmd prompt. This script opens another cmd prompt and runs another batch file there. I want to wait for the error code and then send it back to the original cmd window. Is there a nice way to do this without writing the error code to a file?

Thanks, Li

Thanks, this should work, but I'm actually openning a new command window. — user429400, Feb 20 '11 at 17:03

If I inderstand you correctly, you want this solution. It solves the problem of returning error level to the calling script from the script that was run in a separate cmd session.
