I have a file called test.txt in jenkins workspace directory for the pipeline job being run on windows slave agent. The contents of the file is as :-

test1=abc  
test2=xyz

Now i am running a pipeline groovy job which is :-

node () {

 bat '''FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%a IN ('find "test2" ^<%WORKSPACE%\\test.txt') DO SET test2value=%%a
        echo %test2value%'''
}

If i execute the same script using windows command line on the same windows slave machine it works just fine but in jenkins groovy it says file test2 not found. I am unable to figure out how to use this in this scenario. The actual expected result of this pipeline should be xyz Kindly help

This works for me. Are you sure the text file is there?

node("windows"){
    stage("dummy"){
        bat """
@where find
@echo test1=abc>test.txt
@echo test2=xyz>>test.txt
@type test.txt

@FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%a IN ('find "test2" ^<%WORKSPACE%\\test.txt') DO @SET test2value=%%a
@echo %test2value%
        """
    }
}

output:

[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (dummy)
[Pipeline] bat
C:\Windows\System32\find.exe
test1=abc
test2=xyz
xyz
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node

Make sure that you actually using the Windows find.exe and not the find from bash that might come from your git installation.
