Send command results to batch variable

I'm trying to compare an empty string to the results from a ping using FIND. I want to capture only failed ping requests.

Here's what I've tried so far:

ping -n 1 %choice% | FIND "Request" >> %request%

FOR /F "delims=" %%a in ('ping -n 1 %choice% | FIND "Request") Do @set request =%a

Once I get this to set correctly, I plan to compare request to an empty string.

You need to protect the pipe, and have matched quotes in the for command, and use %%:

FOR /F "delims=" %%a in ('ping -n 1 %choice% ^| FIND "Request" ') Do @set request =%%a

Test this:

ping -n 1 %choice% | FIND "TTL=">nul && (echo pass) || (echo fail)
pause
