The following code always displays 0 as the errorlevel, but when the copy command is done outside of the for loop command it returns a non zero errorlevel.
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%x in (`copy x y`) do (
set VAR=%%x
)
ECHO Errorlevel = %ERRORLEVEL%
ECHO VAR = %VAR%
Is is possible to get the errorlevel of the copy command executed by the for loop?

Batch file error level: %ERRORLEVEL% is an environment variable that contains the last error level or return code in the batch file – that is, the last error code of the last command executed. Error levels may be checked by using the %ERRORLEVEL% variable as follows: IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ( DO_Something )
In Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS, an errorlevel is the integer number returned by a child process when it terminates. Errorlevel is 0 if the process was successful. Errorlevel is 1 or greater if the process encountered an error.
In Batch Script, the variable declaration is done with the %% at the beginning of the variable name. The IN list contains of 3 values. The lowerlimit, the increment, and the upperlimit. So, the loop would start with the lowerlimit and move to the upperlimit value, iterating each time by the Increment value.
it works for me ! You only need to put the error checking within the DO parentheses with a text file containing the copy commands (7200 lines; for example: copy 2_97691_Scan.pdf O:\Data\Dev\Mins\PDFScan2\2011\4\2_97691_Scan.pdf), I can run the following batch file
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /F "delims=" %%I in (CopyCurrentPDFs.txt) do (
%%I
if !errorlevel! NEQ 0 echo %%I>>errorcopy.txt
)
