for /F "tokens=*" %%I in ('command') do set output=%%I

Remember, two %s in a batch file, one % on the command line.

C:\>for /F "tokens=*" %I in ('time /T') do set var=%I

C:\>set var=3:01p

C:\>echo %var%
3:01p

So I need to run a command and then store the output of that command in a variable for later use. In UNIX this is easy, just put the command into back-quotes and place it in the variable you want the results to be stored in. It doesn’t work this was in the Windows shell.

Is there anybody out there who knows how to do this in Windows?

Thank you.

Jason
