kill processes with pid using pipes and taskkill in windows

I am new to batch scripting and trying to search and kill a list of processes and not sure how to proceed further after the second pipe

@echo off
wmic process where "Name like 'java%%.exe' " get Processid, Caption, Commandline | find "abc" |

Here I am using WMIC to list all the java processes and filtering them using find to get the java processes with a specific word in the Commandline, now I need to kill these processes after finding them. Can this be achieved by taskkill or using a for loop after writing this to a file? I do not want to use call Terminate to kill the processes. can someone help me with this. Thanks in advance.

This first looks for processes by .exe name and then looks at the command line of those after having learned the process id:

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

set exe=winver.exe
set findcommand=foo bar

REM start example programs
start "" "%exe%" %findcommand%
start "" "%exe%" %findcommand% baz
ping -n 3 localhost>nul&rem SLEEP

for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('wmic process where "Name like '%exe%'" get ProcessID /format:list') do for /F "tokens=1,* delims==" %%B in ('wmic process where "ProcessID like '%%A'" get commandLine /format:list') do for /F %%D in ("%%~B") do (
    (echo.%%C|find /I "%findcommand%" >nul)&&call taskkill /PID %%A
)

I'm sure there are ways to break this if the command line contains something echo does not like but such is life with batch files...
