store SID in a variable

Question

Hi, I need a way to store the current user's SID in a variable, I tried a lot of variants of:

setlocal enableextensions 
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ( 
'"wmic path win32_useraccount where name='%UserName%' get sid"'
) do ( 
if not "%%a"==""
set myvar=%%a
echo/%%myvar%%=%myvar% 
pause 
endlocal 

None are working

wmic path win32_useraccount where name='%UserName%' get sid should be returning 3 lines, i need the second one stored in a variabel

Can someone fix my script?

edit btw; I am using a .cmd file

Answer 1

This should fix it:

for /f "delims= " %%a in ('"wmic path win32_useraccount where name='%UserName%' get sid"') do (
   if not "%%a"=="SID" (          
      set myvar=%%a
      goto :loop_end
   )   
)

:loop_end
echo %%myvar%%=%myvar%

note the "delims= " in the FOR loop. It will separate the input at spaces, that are contained at the end of the output ouf your WMI query.

The condition if not "%%a"=="SID" will be true for the second iteration and then assign the variable and break out of the loop.

Hope that helps.

Another solution could be:

FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%s IN ('wmic path win32_useraccount where name^='%username%' get sid /value ^| find /i "SID"') DO SET SID=%%t

See you.
