How to split string using batch script?

Question

I am new new to batch scripting. Need some help to extract string value from the below string:

value=string_value (character)

Required Output: string_value

There are different ways to do it that depend on the actual format of the text. — foxidrive

For example Matt's solution would have failed if your string_value contained a space. — foxidrive

Try this:

for /f "tokens=2 delims== " %%a in ("value=string_value (character)") do echo %%a
