How to get particular name in folder name

A directory named such as CD_25467, JBMA_33455, CCD_2133, etc, I want to store the character and numbers in two different variables. For example,

CD_25467

   @echo off
   set folder=D:\karthick\CD_25467
   set j=[(A-Z)+]
   set a=[(0-9)+]
   echo %j%
   echo %a%

The output will come,

CD
25467

How to write regex coding for the above example?

Use in batch file:

@echo off
for %%I in ("D:\karthick\CD_25467") do for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=_" %%A in ("%%~nI") do set "j=%%A" & set "a=%%B"
echo %j%
echo %a%

Open a command prompt window and run for /? for help on command FOR explaining what %~nI means which references name of file or folder, i.e. the string between last backslash and last dot if there is such a string at all. A folder path ending with a backslash would result in running the inner FOR with just "" resulting in j and a still not defined or keeping their current string values.

The help explains also the syntax on usage of option /F to split one or more lines read from a text file or a single string as done here or captured lines output by a command line executed in background with cmd.exe /C.
