<div>
for /f &quot;usebackq tokens=3 delims= &quot;&nbsp;%i in (`dir ^| find &quot;bytes free&quot;`) do @set FreeSpace=%i<br />
<br />
This will set the environment variable &quot;freespace&quot; equal to the free space value returned by dir
</div>


for /f "usebackq tokens=3 delims= " %i in (`dir ^| find "bytes free"`) do @set FreeSpace=%i

This will set the environment variable "freespace" equal to the free space value returned by dir

Important to note if you are not familiar with the for command, that the single quotes just inside the parenthesis are backquotes - the unshifted ~ on most US keyboards <br />
backquote=` <br />
apostrophe='

How to Assign Drive Space total\used to a variable?

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
