Here's the deal, putting a script together to do some automated notification when condition X is received. Run executable which returns a numeric value, based on that numeric value, either exit or send notification.
95% of this is very easy, problem I'm having is taking the output of the cmd and assigning it to a variable that I can use for comparison purposes.
I can run:
somecmd.exe | find /i /c "whatI'mlookingfor" > %temp%\filename.txt
and get it into a file
somecmd.exe | find /i "whatI'mlookingfor" > %variablename%
doesn't work
somecmd.exe | find /i "whatI'mlookingfor" > %temp%\filename.txt
set %temp%\filename.txt=%variablename%
doesn't work
somecmd.exe | find /i "whatI'mlookingfor" > %temp%\filename.txt
type %temp%\filename.txt=%variablename%
doesn't work.
End result I'm looking for is just getting the output of the executable into a variable.
Any thoughts? Googled my brains out and checked alot of sites I normally look for these kind of things w no luck. Brain hurts. 😉
