Passing value from vbscript to batch file is not working correctly

I have written a batch file that runs a vbscript and then collects the values from the vbscrit for further process.

This is my code:

myBatch.bat

@ECHO OFF
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

REM ECHO ============= RUNNING BATCH =============
ECHO. 

for /F "delims=" %%a in ('CSCRIPT C:\myVBScript.vbs') do (
    ECHO RESULT: %%a
   )


REM ECHO ============= FINNISHED BATCH =============
ECHO.

myVBScript.vbs

    Option Explicit
Dim values, splitStr


    'ask for value
    values=InputBox("Please provide a list separated by semicolon","Do stuff","item1;item2") 
    splitStr=Split(values,";")

    If UBound(splitStr) >= 1 Then
        WScript.Echo splitStr(0)
        WScript.Echo splitStr(1)
    End If

And this is the output:

RESULT: Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8

RESULT: Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

RESULT: item1

RESULT: item2

Where does the two first lines come from and how can I avoid them? This is very annoing and I cant figure out how to just get the actual values (item1 and item2).

The two lines

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

are a banner that is automatically printed by the interpreter cscript.exe.

Use the nologo parameter

cscript //nologo C:\myVBScript.vbs

to avoid the banner in the script's output.

You can also make nologo the default for your user by running the following command once:

cscript //nologo //s
