batch script assingn variable from command

when i execute following command to check the status of a network adapter for Local Area Connection:

netsh interface show interface "Local Area Connection" | find "Administrative state"

it will output the following:

Administrative state: Enabled

or

Administrative state: Disabled

how do i get the enabled or disabled to variable into batch script? I know in linux bash, it will be something like this:

MY_VAR1=$(some_command | grep "someString$" | xargs);

how to do it in windows batch script?

Think again

for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ('netsh interface show interface "Local Area Connection" ^| find "Administrative state"') do set var=%%i

will assign "Enabled" or "Disabled".

Using "tokens=2 deims=:" will assign 

" Enabled             "
or 
" Disabled            "
which can be proved by

echo +%var%+

(the + to show the spaces...)

use % instead of %% at command-line. ;)
