    Hi,

    I would like to get a execution path of a process using batch file. I wrote,

    FOR /F "usebackq skip=1 tokens=* delims==" %%f IN (`wmic process where "ProcessID=8000" get ExecutablePath`) DO echo %%f

    This command gives the execution path. But i cant set the value in a variable. Set command also fails here. 

    Please anyone help me.

    Use PowerShell:

    $expath=(Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -filter 'Handle=8000').ExecutablePath

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Here you go:

    @echo off
    FOR /F "delims==" %%f IN ('wmic process where "ProcessID=3940" get ExecutablePath ^| find "\"') do set Exe=%%f
    echo %Exe%
