I am using following SQL query to get version number from database through a batchfile.

sqlcmd.exe -S localhost -d MyDB 
           -Q "set nocount on;Declare @VersionNumber nvarchar(128) set @VersionNumber = (select top 1 versionnumbe from Table_schemaversion order by Id desc)  print 'Your Previous Version is: ' + @VersionNumber "

This query is working fine, and producing the correct result.

But now I need to store this result into a local variable of the batch file. And I cannot use any external file here, I have to do this by the query written above, only.

How can I do this? Can anybody let me me about a solution to do this?

Thanks in advance…..

    If the command result is a single line this will be enough:

    FOR /F "usebackq" %%S IN (`sqlcmd.exe -S localhost -d MyDB  -Q "set nocount on;Declare @VersionNumber nvarchar^(128^) set @VersionNumber = ^(select top 1 versionnumbe from Table_schemaversion order by Id desc^)  print 'Your Previous Version is: ' + @VersionNumber "`) DO SET var=%%S

    or

    FOR /F  %%S IN ('sqlcmd.exe -S localhost -d MyDB  -Q "set nocount on;Declare @VersionNumber nvarchar^(128^) set @VersionNumber = ^(select top 1 versionnumbe from Table_schemaversion order by Id desc^)  print ^'Your Previous Version is: ^' + @VersionNumber "') DO SET var=%%S
