Returns the exit code set by a script or program run using the Exec() method.
Object.ExitCode |
Parameters
- Object
-
WshScriptExec Object
Remarks
Executables set an exit code when they finish running. This conveys the status information when a process ends. Often, it is used to send an error code (or some other piece of information) back to the caller. If the process has not finished, the ExitCode property returns 0. The values returned from ExitCode depend on the application that was called.
Example
The following code shows an example of the ExitCode property.

Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("%comspec% /c dire")

ReadAllFromAny = oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
Exit Function
End If
If Not oExec.StdErr.AtEndOfStream Then
ReadAllFromAny = oExec.StdErr.ReadAll
Exit Function
End If
ReadAllFromAny = -1
