BATCH - How to get only a single line from a multi-line command output

The "Battery" icon in my Status Bar doesn't work, and I use a Windows Batch-Script to check the battery level. (I don't want a fix for the icon.) But, the output is kind of ugly, with no spaces and a plain number on the next line.

So, How can i convert

EstimatedChargeRemaining
83

to

Battery Level is at 83

(Or anything of the sort.)

P.S: The command I use is WMIC PATH Win32_Battery Get EstimatedChargeRemaining

Solution

  • The following worked for me, and is a modification of @npocmaka's answer (Thanks, npocmaka).

    FOR /F "Tokens=1,* Delims==" %%A in (
    'wmic PATH Win32_Battery get EstimatedChargeRemaining  /Format:list ^| FINDSTR "[0-9]"'
)DO (echo Battery Level is at %%B)

    What I have changed:
    FINDSTR Converts output from Unicode to ANSI for parsing by FOR /F
