Force exit code zero for windows command line commands

How can I force the exit code to be zero for a windows cmd command without changing the way it behaves

The linux equivalent of what is mean is 

netstat -an | grep 12035 || true

Something I tried is 

C:\>netstat -ano | find "25000" | exit 0

Though it forces exit code 0, it does not show the desired output when successful

Eg:

C:\>netstat -ano | find "25000"
TCP    0.0.0.0:25000          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4832

C:\>netstat -ano | find "25000" | exit 0

Any idea if there is a way?

Solution 
  • netstat -an | find "25000" || ver>nul

    If the find command raises errorlevel, execute a command that resets it., in this case the ver command is used and its output discarded
