Hi

Unfortunately not, there is no way for a Rumba script to return anything back to your command prompt.

To get around this you can have your script write set an environment variable which you can then read from your batch file.

I've not tested it, but I believe using SetEnvironmentVariable from Kernel32.dll to set the variable should work.
