Capture output from a PowerShell command in a batch file's for /f loop

Question

This PowerShell code selects the correct value for var5 from this string. The desired result it \"Alert Raised\".

PS C:\\src\\t> $s = \'Statu         


        

Answer 1

You don't need the for loop in the batch file.

@ECHO OFF
SET "S=Status 58   var5=Alert Raised on: March"
powershell -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command " '%S%' | Where-Object { $_ -match '.*var5=(.*)\s+\w+:' } | ForEach-Object { $Matches[1] } "

The above gives the expected result.
