How Can I Detect Errors in Diskpart When Using a Pipe?

I am trying to eliminate the temporary script file (i.e. diskpart /s scriptFile) used to automate diskpart by replacing it with commands issued via a pipe, however I can't seem to figure out how to detect when diskpart throws an error. If you have a drive N: change the select vol n with a non-existent drive so diskpart will generate an error:
(
(
echo select disk 0
echo list partition
echo select vol n
) | diskpart
set foundErr=1
if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 set "foundErr="
if defined foundErr goto :errorMsg
echo Success!
goto :EOF
)
:errorMsg
echo diskpart failed!
goto :EOF
pause
I based the code above on this answer, but it's not working.
Is this even possible, or does the use of a pipe block or interfere with diskpart error detection?

I haven't tested it yet. but this should work:
(
(
echo select disk 0
echo list partition
echo select vol n
) | diskpart
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" (
if not "%errorlevel%"=="1"
(
set "foundErr="
)
) Else set foundErr=1
if defined foundErr goto errorMsg
echo Success!
goto :EOF
)
:errorMsg
echo diskpart failed!
goto :EOF
pause
