If one is running flac under Windows and invoking it at a command.com prompt, does flac -t return an exit status that command.com can use to determine its next move (such as logging whether the flac file being tested passed or failed)? Meanwhile, I discovered the pause command; by editing that into the batch file between invocations of flac -t, at least I won't miss any results before they scroll off the screen. It's very far from what I really want, but it's a tiny improvement. What I really want is a way to set the computer to test a large number of flac files while I'm out or asleep but to save the results somewhere for me to see when I return to the keyboard.
| yes, the exit code will be 1 if any of the flac files failed | testing, else 0 (i.e. if all of them passed). Thank you, Josh! Now the only trick is to see whether command.com can do anything with that information.
