reading string from a file in a batch file

I have a .kla file that has 2 variables (Name,ID) and I need to get their valuables and combine them to define a new name for a new file (Name_ID.kla) to be saved.

Name "Jon";
ID 1234;

I m really thankful for your help!

@echo off

set INPUT=a.txt

for /f delims^=^"^ tokens^=2 %%a in ('findstr /i "Name" "%INPUT%"') do set NAME=%%a
for /f "tokens=2 delims=; " %%b in ('findstr /i "ID" "%INPUT%"') do set ID=%%b

set FNAME=%NAME%_%ID%.kla
echo %FNAME%

a.txt contains 2 lines:

Name "Jon";
ID 1234;

output:

Jon_1234.kla
