Not sure if I understand the task you try to achieve, but this may help

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set "result="
set/a offset=0

for /f "tokens=3,4 delims=:" %%i in ('FINDSTR /N /I /S /C:"A=1" C:\Users\Family\Desktop\saxcz\find.bat') do (
   set/a offset+=1 & set "line=0000%%i" 
   set "result[!offset!]=!line:~-4! %%j"
)

if %offset% neq 0 (
  echo( 
  echo(Line  data 
  echo(----  --------------------------------- 
  for /L %%i in (1,1,%offset%) do echo(!result[%%i]!
  echo(--------------------------------------- 
  echo( 
  echo( %offset% items found
) else (
  echo(Not found
)
endlocal
exit/B
