I want to count the no of lines in a text file and then the value has to be stored into a environment variable. The command to count the no of lines is
findstr /R /N "^" file.txt | find /C ":"
I refered the question How to store the result of a command expression in a variable using bat scripts? Then I tried,
set cmd="findstr /R /N "^" file.txt | find /C ":" "
I am getting the error message,
FIND: Parameter format not correct
How could i get rid of this error.

The /c option could also be used to count all lines that a commands leaves as output. For example we would like to know the number of groups in Active Directory. By using a pipe to FIND /v “” /c we want to see all lines that does not (/v) match the string “”, i.e. all lines and then count it.
Searches for a string of text in a file or files, and displays lines of text that contain the specified string.
There is a much simpler way than all of these other methods.
find /v /c "" filename.ext Holdover from the legacy MS-DOS days, apparently. More info here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20110825-00/?p=9803
Example use:
adb shell pm list packages | find /v /c "" If your android device is connected to your PC and you have the android SDK on your path, this prints out the number of apps installed on your device.
