Windows batch file using ImageX info

I have a folder with several ImageX files (*.wim). I can loop through those and select one of them with the following batch file:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%a in (*.wim) do (
    set /a gt_i+=1
    echo !gt_i! - %%~nxa
    set gt_files[!gt_i!]=%%~fa
)
set /p m0="Select file: "
REM Do imagex applying of selected image here

This works just fine, but I would like something prettier than just the filenames.

ImageX has an option, "/info", that displays various metadata about the image in the following format:

C:\>imagex /info myfile.wim 1

How can I use the <NAME> tag in this info from imagex instead of the filename in the for loop in the script?

This is almost the same question as this one, but I can't find a proper solution for this specific problem in it (other that I can use imagex /info myfile.wim | find "<NAME>" but that includes leading spaces as well as the actual XML tags)

Use for /f:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%a in (*.wim) do (
    set /a gt_i+=1
    for /f "delims=<> tokens=3" %%b in ('imagex /info %%~nxa ^| find "<NAME>"') do set name=%%b
    echo !gt_i! - %%~nxa - !name!
    set gt_files[!gt_i!]=%%~fa
)
set /p m0="Select file: "
REM Do imagex applying of selected image here
