Piping Contents Of Serial Number Into Variable

  • 1

Hello,
I am trying to pipe the contents of :
wmic bios get serialnumber
and store it into a variable called %SERIAL%.
I’ve tried multiple variations of :
SET SERIAL | wmic bios get serialnumber and
SET SERIAL > wmic bios get serialnumber
but have not been able to make it work.
The final output of what I want is a file called C:\Temp\%SERIAL%.txt
with contents of the %MAC_ADDRESS%.
thanks,

      As someone with Win7, I’m going to jump in here to speed things along:

      IVO: post what displayed
      Note: \n denotes CR/LF.

      SerialNumber          \n
System Serial Number  \n

      Basically, there’s a blank line at the end:

      C:\>for /F "delims=" %j in ('wmic bios get serialnumber') do @echo set SERIAL=%j
set SERIAL=SerialNumber
set SERIAL=System Serial Number
set SERIAL=
