Re: How do I get a value from the windows registry to set a variable

Excuse me, the correct syntax is with tokens=3*(by using the asterisk we make sure that not only the third word is used but everything following it as well) and you have to set %%A (not %%B).

@ECHO OFF
:: delims is a TAB followed by a space
FOR /F "tokens=3* delims= " %%A IN ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ /v ORACLE_HOME') DO SET
CURR_OH=%%A
ECHO Oracle home is %CURR_OH%
