Ignore a line in batch file from powershell?

Suppose i have the following batch file, named openPS.bat:

@echo off

SET psFile="%1"

Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File %psFile% %2 %3 %4 %5

if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 GOTO :error
GOTO :end
:error
echo Exit Code: %ERRORLEVEL%
echo Failed!

EXIT /B %ErrorLevel%
:end
echo Exit Code: %ERRORLEVEL%
echo Success!

This batch file is used to run a powershell script in a CMD console:

C:> openPS.bat script.ps1

the script.ps1 runs multiple times by a wrapper, so everytime it runs successfully, it outputs exit code 0

exit code 0

Can i somehow ignore this line in openPS.bat via powershell?

EXIT /B %ErrorLevel%
:end
echo Exit Code: %ERRORLEVEL%
echo Success!

i know i can REM it but i need to output one success message after all loops of the script.ps1 are completed. so it has to remain and I found no way to suppress all those exit code 0's. if i use out-null in powershell script, i lose all other output, so out-null is not an option.

Instead of checking and showing "Success!" for each iteration, use the wrapper script to indicate completion. The screen will show only the failures and completion message.

You can also use a variable in the wrapper script to keep track of the return values, a simple sum will work, and test it for 0 when execution of all of the iterations is complete. Then display success or failure.

@echo off

SET psFile="%1"

Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File %psFile% %2 %3 %4 %5

if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 GOTO :error
GOTO :end
:error
echo Exit Code: %errorlevel%
echo Failed!

:end
EXIT /B %errorlevel%
