net accounts | for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('find /I "computer role"') do echo %%a


This line does exactly what I want to know. However, I would like to assign the output of this command to a variable, then reference that variable later in the batch file. Suggestions?

  • Same way you assigned the parsed output of the FOR command to a variable in your question you asked yesterday.

  • yesterday's mess became: (set /p _build=<"C:Deploymentsdeploy.ver" & IF "!_build!"=="%_thisVer%" ) so that's working now.... Are you saying that I can "nest" for statements? Because I tried set /p _type=net accoun...... and it doesn't like it.

  • This was your code from yesterday: set build=%%F. So what do you think you need to do with this code?
