dos batch assign returned values from a command into a variable (from powershell)
- by nokheat
i am refering to this question
ASSIGN win XP dos commandline output to variable
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/537404/assign-win-xp-dos-commandline-output-to-variable
i am trying to use it on a powershell code segment
so i typed
powershell date (get-date).AddDays(-1) -format yyyyMMdd
and confirm it returns like
20100601
but then if i tried to
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('powershell date get-date -format yyyyMMdd
') do set var=%a
then it failed to work as expected. how can i transfer the date to a variable?
