Put the result of findstr in a variable in a batch file on Windows

Could you tell me how to put the result of this command in a variable in a batch script?

If i type this line: echo "This is a test" | findstr "is"

I got this: "This is a test"

I want this result i a variable

Qlemo

In a batch file:

for /F "delims=" %%T in ('echo "This is a test" ^| findstr "is"') do set var=%%T

Open in new window

but that is probably too simplified for being used for an actual purpose ...

This comman alone return what i'm looking for.

The goal is to check if a user is member of a localgroup.

return this:
ADMINISTRATIF\SAV$cont-exec

for /F "delims=" %T in ('net localgroup "Utilisateurs du Bureau à distance" ^| findstr "Utilisateurs du Bureau à distance"') do set var=%T

echo %var%
return this instead of ADMINISTRATIF\SAV$cont-exec
