Remove files if command not sucessful
I mux mp4 videos and webm videos with srt (subtitles) files. All the files have the same filenames but different extensions. Like this:
Video1.mp4
Video1.srt
or
Video2.webm
Video2.srt
Sometimes the muxing (merge video with subtitles) is not successful because the srt file is empty. The command line tool I use to merge video with subtitles is called MKVMerge and has 3 exit codes:
0 -- This exit codes means that muxing has completed successfully.
1 -- In this case mkvmerge(1) has output at least one warning, but muxing did continue. A warning is prefixed with the text 'Warning:'. Depending on the issues involved the resulting file might be ok or not. The user is urged to check both the warning and the resulting file.
2 -- This exit code is used after an error occurred. mkvmerge(1) aborts right after outputting the error message. Error messages range from wrong command line arguments over read/write errors to broken files.
I want a command to remove the SRT file if the error code is 1.
Here's what I'm using:
FOR /R "D:Folder" %%A IN (*.mp4 *.webm) do (
"D:mkvmerge.exe" -o "%%~nxA" "%%~A" --language 0:eng "%%~nA.srt"
)
I want that command line to remove the .srt file (which uses the same filename as mp4 or webm) if the error code is 1 (one).

I know about ERRORLEVEL, but I can only perform simple tasks. I don't know how to append when there's a lot of arguments.

Look at the error level set by mkvmerge.
Try the following batch file:
FOR /R "D:Folder" %%A IN (*.mp4 *.webm) do (
"D:mkvmerge.exe" -o "%%~nxA" "%%~A" --language 0:eng "%%~nA.srt"
if %errorlevel% equ 1 (
del /q "%%~nA.srt"
)
)
