This can be done very simply using a FOR loop along-side it's Token System. Since reg query will output the variables in a one two three format, we can use tokens=3 to grab only the third item in the output.

From CMD:

for /F "tokens=3" %A in ('reg query "HKCU\Software\[PATH_TO_MY_DIR]" /v "[KEY_NAME]"') DO (Echo %A)

From BATCH:

for /F "tokens=3" %%A in ('reg query "HKCU\Software\[PATH_TO_MY_DIR]" /v "[KEY_NAME]"') DO (Echo %%A)
