Hi, I need a way to store the current user's SID in a variable, I tried a lot of variants of:

setlocal enableextensions 
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ( 
'"wmic path win32_useraccount where name='%UserName%' get sid"'
) do ( 
if not "%%a"==""
set myvar=%%a
echo/%%myvar%%=%myvar% 
pause 
endlocal

None are working

wmic path win32_useraccount where name='%UserName%' get sid should be returning 3 lines, i need the second one stored in a variabel

Can someone fix my script?

edit btw; I am using a .cmd file
