Get result value from exe as parameter

Open Discussions shell-business

hi, sorry if this question is cmd batch, and for my bad English,
I got some code from : How to determine video codec of a file with FFmpeg - Stack Overflow

ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=codec_name \
  -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 video.mkv

Will in my case return:

h264

that I like to know is: how to get that “h264” result as if a condition like this:

if result == "h264" echo the codec is h264
else echo the codec is NOT h264

Thanks for reading, have a nice day

I using firefox add-on “Grammarly” and still failed,

to be honest, it will be nice if you give me the google keyword:
please google XXX or google ZZZ

Of course.

That does not matter. You come to get help - not to make an english test. :wink:

I don’t understand what you mean. Just ask you question on StackOverflow and make sure you add the tag “cmd” to your question. They will help you. :+1:t4:
