      xml is always tedious/difficult/frustrating to process using batch, but here goeth the treacherous and futile assault thereon:

      @echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
      for /f “tokens=*” %%a in (‘findstr /i “head ip=” test.xml’) do (
      set z=%%a
      set z=!z:^<head ip=!
      :get rid of the equals sign
      set z!z!
      set z=!z: /^>=!
      call :readxml !z!
      )
      goto :eof
      :readxml
      echo in xml…
      for %%a in (%1) do set test=%%~a
      echo %test%
      :end
