(dir /b "20??????" | find /c "2")>>x.txt  
set /p variable=<x.txt

That's all.

Of course, if you don't want 5 the file, just do this afterwards:

del x.txt

EDIT -- How 4 to make the filename unique:

@Mai: use this 3 to create a uniqe file name:

set timestamp=%date:.=%%time::=%
set timestamp=%timestamp:,=%
set timestamp=%timestamp:/=%
set timestamp=%timestamp:-=%
set filename=file%timestamp%.tmp

Add more replacements 2 if the date format of your system culture 1 has other characters inside

Here's a sample:

@echo off
set wildcard=C:\*.*
set count=0
FOR /F %%a in ('DIR /B %wildcard%') do set /A count=count+1
echo %count% files matching %wildcard%
set choice=
set /p choice=Press enter to continue ...

This is my code:

@echo off
set com=echo HI
::Start Of Code You Need
echo|%com%>>"%temp%\tmp.txt"
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (%temp%\tmp.txt) do (
set output=%%x
)
del /q %temp%\tmp.txt
::End Of Code You Need
echo This Is The Output:
echo %output%
pause>NUL

It takes the input from 1 com and outputs from output
