I want to check Edge webdriver version using batch file. The name of the webdriver is msedgedriver.exe and I can check the version using this command manually.

msedgedriver.exe -v

And the output is

MSEdgeDriver 96.0.1054.62 (f97cb2ce0103f6eaa6dc1994d77748c659744916)

But when I use batch for to get the output, it shows nothing. The batch code:

FOR /F "tokens=* USEBACKQ" %%F IN ('msedgedriver.exe -v') DO (
SET var=%%F
)
ECHO %var%

I've tried every answer in How to set commands output as a variable in a batch file link. I've checked the file path and it's correct. and tried 'call "msedgedriver.exe -v"' or 'msedgedriver.exe /v' or every other combination.

  • Are you running the batch from within the same folder as of where msedgedriver.exe is located? Otherwise you would have to provide the full path to msedgedriver.exe

  • Yes, I'm sure about that, I've tried the full path and it didn't work.

  • Sorry I didn't understand exactly about > provide the location. this is the full path "C:\Users\alient\Documents\Pycharm Projects\bot_onnx\msedgedriver.exe" and this the bat file path "C:\Users\alient\Documents\Pycharm Projects\bot_onnx\check_version.bat"

  • Ah ok, I figured out this is not included by default in Windows...

Reset to default

I suspect that because the output has parentesis "()" you would have to use some extra quotes:

@echo off
FOR /F "tokens=2" %%F IN ('"msedgedriver.exe -v"') DO SET var=%%F

echo %var%
pause
