string parsing using cmd commands

Question

I have a cmd command that gives me output similar to below

"Targetid = 12345"

The above string consists of \r \t \n as well. Can you please suggest a cmd command that can help me just get the number "12345" when passed with such a string

Edit: the cmd command that i use to get above string is as follow

"D:\mytest\mySoftware Query <customerGUID> | findstr /R /C:""Targetid"" "

If you provide the .cmd command which outputs the string "Targetid = 12345", we may have a fighting chance of helping. Please edit your question to include the code, formatted correctly using the {} button, and any other pertinent information. — Compo

@echo off
