STR problem (*solved*)

[boriel]

zxb.exe already returns an errorlevel <> 0 if there were an error (this is the standard behavior). You can however tell the compiler to use a different file (--stderr), but it will not separate warnings from errors. I suppose I will have to add a flag for that.

No chance to read the error level because error level cannot be readed out,

Yes you can! Try this:

C:\>zxb.exe
Usage: zxb.py <input file> [options]

zxb.py: error: missing input file. (Try -h)
C:\>echo %errorlevel%
2

The environment variable %errorlevel% only returns 0 on successful compilations. This value is also returned in most APIs when executing a external program as "return code" or "exit value" or similar.

but you send the usual compiler warning (INFO) like these:

This will be transformed into :remark: or :info: codes (like warnings, but less important) and also output to stderr in the next version (I've been so busy fixing bugs I couldn't do this before).
Anyway, I will add a flags for warnings and infos like '--warnings-file' and '--info-file' so you can isolate warnings from error msgs, etc.
