Command Prompt -- redirect output of program to variable

[warhawk11]

I'm trying to pipe the output of a program (a string) into a variable. When I try the below code, the command runs but the variable isn't created:

Code: [Select]

C:\Programlocation\program.exe | set /p variable=

This seems like it should be pretty straightforward...

Thanks,

J

Welcome to the CH forums.

Try this:

Code: [Select]

for /f "delims=*" %%1 in ('C:\ProgramLocation\Program.exe') do (
    set variable=%%1
)

Good luck
