How to write the output of the Find command to a variable in a bat script?

Question

cmd/bat

For example, the command
Tasklist |Find /I /c "cmd.exe"
Here, the Find command searches the list of processes for the number of lines with the word "cmd.exe" and displays as a number

C:\Users\UserName\Desktop>TaskList | Find /I /c "cmd.exe"
2

So, the question is how to write this number, in this case - 2, into a variable that can be used further in the code.

Answer 1

Maybe there are more beautiful solutions, but here's the first thing that came to mind - it works ...

@echo off
::Результат пишем во временный файл
TaskList | Find /I /c "cmd.exe" >tmp.txt
::читаем из файла в нашу переменую
for /F %%i in (tmp.txt) do set result=%%i
::используем ее далее
echo Found: %result%
