You are missing the closing parentheses before the DO.

[Squashman]

I see you edited your question to include the closing parentheses but you have not stated whether this fixed your problem.

If it did not fix your problem you need to explain in more detail what the output of your pgp command is and what the expected output of that command should be.

Hallo
Your findstr command will find lines with Peter OR Pan.
The for /f loop will only output the first token (word).
Use for /f "tokens=1-2" OR for /f "delims="
To set your variable.
