Small query from batch file

Question

I have just created batch file with the below code
FOR /F "usebackq delims=!" %%i IN (`sqlplus -s usr/pwd@orclprd @runquery.sql`) DO set var_x=%%i
rem @echo on
echo "value of var_x " is %var_x%
Trying to get the value of variable x from the query which is in runquery.sql(select status from table1 where id=20292;)
but when i execute the batch file ,it got stuked and not giving or printing the value of 'X';
Do i need to add or modify any thing else to get the X Value????

Wrong forum but this is what I do to get variables back....
sqlplus -L -S %user%/%pw%@%host% @sp\oracle\sp_etl_rollback.sql > connect.logThe results of this connection test is put into the connect.log file (the greater than (>) symbol is a assignment operator to assign whatever it gets from the buffer on that query into the file).
Then just use any FOR /F look to get the value from the .log file.
Here is an example I use to find a certain ID:
echo set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on linesize 4096 serveroutput on > temp.sql
echo select count(*) from d_grid where grid_id = '%grid%'; >> temp.sql
echo exit; >> temp.sql
sqlplus -S %user%/%pw%@%host% @temp.sql > result.dat
for /f %%x in ('more result.dat') do set exists=%%x
IF '%exists%'=='0' goto :NO_GRID
IF '%exists%'=='1' IF '%undo_type%'=='1' goto :GET_DATE
IF '%exists%'=='1' IF '%undo_type%'=='2' goto :ORA_GET_BATCH
IF '%exists%' GTR '1' (
