Since you know the string token in the line you're searching for, you can use FOR /F to process the output of the FINDSTR command.

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%a in ('findstr /i "Fatbardh" "YourFile.txt"') do set percent=%%a
echo %percent%

If you don't want the % symbol in the variable, include it in the delimiters.

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:%% " %%a in ('findstr /i "Fatbardh" "YourFile.txt"') do set percent=%%a
echo %percent%

Somewhere on that text file there is a "Mastery:" word without quotes close to that there is a percentage number that can be a random number, in this case it is 33% i want to get that percentage number and set it to a variabile I want to thank you for your answer =) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3FOapm5Vb56aXdNdmhmQkEtRXc – Fatbardh Stublla Oct 10 '16 at 17:46
  • You're dealing with markup. This might be a better answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28893147/need-to-parse-out-string-from-html-document-in-a-batch-file – soja Oct 10 '16 at 22:42
