retrieve specific text from batch command output

Question

I am trying to retrieve the version of my Mcafee DLP using a batch script.

reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\McAfee\DLP\Agent"

The above command gives the following output:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\McAfee\DLP\Agent
    UNRSKIP    REG_SZ    skip
    AgentVersion    REG_SZ    10.0.100.372
    PackageType    REG_SZ    DLP
    CommonAppDataFolder    REG_SZ    C:\ProgramData\

How do i retrieve this line : AgentVersion REG_SZ 10.0.100.372

Parse the output string for line starting with "AgentVersion" — tausun

I am no expert on batch script. Try googling 1. how you can get the output into a string, 2. how to parse the string using new line, 3. check the new lines with substring continuing "AgentVersion" on starting — tausun

for /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%f in (tmp.txt) do (echo %%f)

You are welcome. reg. your question, am not getting it. The for statement itself parses through all lines in the file one by one.
