Batch File..Get a Character from multiple lines of text

I have this text in a .txt file

Job Status  : RUN OK (1)
Job Controller  : not available
Job Start Time  : Thu Feb 07 15:13:47 2013
Job Wave Number : 4
User Status : not available
Job Control : 0
Interim Status  : NOT RUNNING (99)
Invocation ID   : not available
Last Run Time   : Thu Feb 07 15:13:53 2013
Job Process ID  : 0
Invocation List : Param_Test_Job
Job Restartable : 0

Is there a way where by I can get the number 1 (after RUN OK) between the () in line 1 to use conditional logic downstream. I am trying to achieve this in a batch file.

(This number will always be in the first line and the text "Job Status" will always be there too)

Thanks for your help

This will work no matter which line Job Status appears. If Job Status appears more than once, it will take the value from the last appearance.

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims=()" %%N in (
  'findstr /bc:"Job Status" test.txt'
) do set "result=%%N"
