How to get output of a FOR loop into a variable in a batch file

I have a file like this, that needs to be parsed and needs to extract a version number.

[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]

// Setting ComVisible to false makes the types in this assembly not visible 
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.4.2")]
...
...

I need to parse it and extract the 0.4.2 from it.

I have to do this in windows batch file only. I did this the following way, but I know this is NOT the best way.

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
SET VERSIONSTR=

REM This is an ugly way to do this, because due to some reason I cant save output of for loop to a variable
REM I would like this in a variable instead of a temp file.
FOR /f "tokens=2*" %%j in (AssemblyInfo.cs) do  @echo %%j  >> tempfile.txt

REM The "AssemblyFileVersion" line has the version number.
REM I would like this in a variable instead of a temp file.
FOR /f %%i in (tempfile.txt) do @echo %%i | find "AssemblyFileVersion" >> anothertempfile.txt

REM Now this for loop will set a variable.
FOR /f %%k in (anothertempfile.txt) do set VERSIONSTR=%%k

REM Now the line is `AssemblyFileVersion("0.4.2")]` so, I am getting the substring from 21st character

SET VERSIONSTR=!VERSIONSTR:~21,-3!

I hate having this ugliness in my code, any ideas on how I can modify this? At the very least I would like to know a way for me to get the output of a for loop in a variable in windows batch file.

for /f "tokens=2 delims=()" %%a in ('findstr AssemblyFileVersion AssemblyInfo.cs') do set Version=%%~a
echo %Version%

It got a little ugly because I cannot (apparently) use quotation marks as delimiters, so I chose the parentheses and removed the quotes with %%~x. You can avoid all temporary files here, by the way.

The code above just directly grabs the appropriate line (with findstr) and tokenizes it with for /f.
