Batch file command output to variable

[izakfilmalter]

Im setting up a batch file to run some adb commands on my android phone. I want to run a command and store the result into a variable for later use in the batch file.

example command:
adb shell getprop ro.product.brand

That command outputs the brand of the device e.g. samsung. I want to capture that without displaying it into a variable that will be used later on in the script. I have the 3 adb files coped over to the scripts location so that it will run natively.

I would think you would set up a user environment variable, then put its location at end of path variable.

If using many variables, put them in a folder, put folder location in path.

I have been trying that. Here is my current code:

ECHO Model Information
SET BRAND=adb shell getprop ro.product.brand
ECHO %BRAND%

What happens is the command gets stored as the variable and when it gets echoed it shows: adb shell getprop ro.product.brand instead of samsung.

SET BRAND='adb shell getprop ro.product.brand'

Those should be back ticks not single quote marks.

Those should be back ticks not single quote marks.

Ya I just tried that and its not working. Ive been using this as a solution but its not very elegant:

adb shell getprop ro.product.brand > tmpFile
SET /p PRODUCTBRAND= < tmpFile
DEL tmpFile
