Hi Sankar If have you written the C programs yourself, if so your could output as many variables as you like, using the code below. If youre not sure how it works send me a email.
[BatchFile.bat] @echo off if not (%1)==() goto Var echo @echo off >tmp.bat CProgram.exe >> tmp.bat tmp.bat :Var set XVar=%1; del tmp.bat [End BatchFile.bat]

Hi Sankar I've found a better way way to recieve return values from your c programs. I've just echoed the values to the sceeen just so that you can test it's working ok.
@echo off c-Prog1.exe rem Note errorlevel only supports 1 byte rem values from 0 to 255 rem errorlevel=12 if errorlevel 12;if not errorlevel 13 echo %errorlevel% c-Program2.exe rem errorlevel=5 if errorlelel 5;if not errorlevel 6 echo %errorlevel% ect.
