A client has a Windows based in-house server, on which they edit the contents of a CMS. The data are synchronized nightly with the live web server. This is a workaround for a slow Internet connection.There are two things to be synchronized: New files (already sorted) and a mySQL database. To do this, I am writing a script that exports the database into a dump file using \[code\]mysqldump\[/code\], and uploads the dump. The upload process is done using a 3rd party tool named ScriptFTP, an FTP automation tool. I then need to run a PHP based import script on the target server. Depending on this script's return value, the ScriptFTP operation goes on, and some directories are renamed. I need an external tool for this, as scriptFTP only supports FTP calls. I was thinking about the Windows version of wget.Within scriptFTP, I can execute any batch or exe file, but I can only parse the errorlevel resulting from the call and not the \[code\]stdout\[/code\] output. This means that I need to return \[code\]errorlevel 1\[/code\] if the PHP import operation goes wrong, and \[code\]errorlevel 0\[/code\] if it goes well. Additionally, obviously, I need to return a positive errorlevel if the connection to the import script could not be made at all.I have total control over the importing PHP script, and can decide what it does on error: Output an error message, return a header, whatever.How would you go about running wget (or any other tool to kick off the server side import) and returning a certain error level depending on what the PHP script returns?My best bet right now is building a batch file that executes the wget command, stores the result in a file, and the batch file returning errorlevel 0 or 1 depending on the file's contents. But I don't really know how to match a file's contents using batch programming.
