AFAIK, Windows shell will always return only 0 or 1. I read that somewhere, thus it must be true ;-)
If you don't find a direct Windows answer, Python gives you a way out. You can run a Python script that calls
os.popen(), which runs a command string and can redirect the output to a new variable:
import os
#Run command
cmd = '"rush -submit borg < C:\QueRushFile0.txt"
try:
pipe = os.popen(cmd, 'r').read()
except OSError, e:
print 'System command failed: '+cmd
#If command finishes, results should be contained in pipe
print pipe
