windows - getting process ID of exe running in Bat File

Question

I require the Process id of the "Las2xyz" process that's being run in my bat file.

How can i achieve this? I can't use the last RUN ID or the first ID, I need the actual process ID, as there are multiple of these running at any given time and ending at any given time i cannot guessimate it.

this is my batch:

@echo off
@echo off
set PATH=C:Windowssystem32;C:atlasslas2xyz;C:atlasslas2xyzin;C:atlasslas2xyzlib
set TOP_HOME=%C:atlasslas2xyz%
del dat*.xyz dat*.seg dat*.pat dat*.tmp dat*.txt test.nam
las2xyz.exe "[ flightpath 2 out 5 lasformat 1 target 0 FIXCLASS 1 step 20 unit *METRIC* fov 20.0 rollfix 1   sn_number *H68_038-003* lsystem *LIDAR_1* DESTSYS 144 minele -100.00 maxele 6000.00 hoff 0.00 eoff 0.00 noff 0.00 bootnr 13110201 leg 1]" "C:UsersDeveloper-OneDesktoplas2xyz_Data131102_003243_GPE.sdc" , "\192.168.0.102agisMacquarie_Barwon_1310Area_01sbet_038_13110201.out" - "131102_003243_cov"

Someone show me how to do it! thank you

Answer 1

This will launch an executable and get the PID:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims==; " %%a in (' wmic process call create "notepad.exe" ^| find "ProcessId" ') do set PID=%%a
echo "%PID%"
pause
