How can you set a PowerShell output as a batch variable? [duplicate]

Question

I created a batch file that executes a PowerShell command. This should read out the capacity of the notebook battery. How can the result of the command be defined as a variable?

Something with tokens is needed for that, right? Can someone help me? In the end, CMDs/Natchs "echo" should output the result.

powershell -Executionpolicy Bypass -Command "(Get-WmiObject -Class "BatteryFullChargedCapacity" -Namespace "ROOT\WMI").FullChargedCapacity"

FYI, there is no need to use powershell for this task. Although regardless of which method you use to retrieve the WMI information, the linked duplicate question should provide the appropriate methodology. — Compo

Try this:

for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('powershell -Executionpolicy Bypass -Command "(Get-WmiObject -Class "BatteryFullChargedCapacity" -Namespace "ROOT\WMI").FullChargedCapacity"') do set "var=%%a"

You can replace var with variable name.

You can try like this batch code using for in do loop : for /f

@echo off
Set PS_CMD=Powershell ^
"(Get-WmiObject -Class "BatteryFullChargedCapacity" -Namespace "ROOT\WMI"^).FullChargedCapacity"

@for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('%PS_CMD%') do set "var=%%a"
    echo %Var%
pause
