How to set multiple line command output in different variables? (Batch)

I want to set the command outpus (multiple lines) as variables, depending on how many lines there are. First I want to export all accessable drives on the computer to a txt file:

    wmic logicaldisk get name>drivesvar.txt

Then read out these lines again and set the different drives as variables.

I tried alot witf for /f commands, but it didnt work so far. Would be glad, if someone could help me ! Thank you in advance.

you don't need a file:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set i=0
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:=" %%a in ('wmic logicaldisk get name /value ') do (
  set /a i+=1
  set drive[!i!]=%%a
)
set drive

If you need the colon, just add it at set drive[!i!]=%%a: (I removed it (as one of several methods) to get rid of the unusual wmic line endings)
