windows - How to test whether a service is running from the command line

Question

I would like to be able to query whether or not a service is running from a windows batch file. I know I can use:

sc query "ServiceName"

but, this dumps out some text. What I really want is for it to set the errorlevel environment variable so that I can take action on that.

Do you know a simple way I can do this?

UPDATE
Thanks for the answers so far. I'm worried the solutions that parse the text may not work on non English operating systems. Does anybody know a way around this, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and write a console program to get this right.

Answer 1

sc query "ServiceName" | find "RUNNING"
