@contactvikasgupta Apologies for delayed response.

If you want to capture just the error code, after you run the az command try to run echo $? for getting the error code.

Please try below commands on bash to capture the az cli command verbose output into file
command >outfile.txt 2>&1 this will redirect both stdout and stderr to the outputfile.
command > outfile.txt 2> error.txt if you want them separated.
