Setting parameter based on output of text file?-CodePudding

I am working on code to read the output of a text file and will set a parameter (or variable?) of the number value of line 2. For testing purposes, it should read from the :NEW, but it doesn't.

This is the output of the text file:

var1=RANK|SCORE|NAME
var2=1|52456|NLM
var3=2|24610|ABS
var4=3|23385|ABT
var5=4|22158|ABU
var6=5|21821|ABV
var7=6|20272|ABW
var8=7|19476|ABX
var9=8|18864|ABY

This is what I have so far, but it obviously isn't right:

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
color 0a
set vidx=0
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (hiscores.txt) do (
    SET /A vidx=!vidx!   1
    set var!vidx!=%%A
)
set var

pause

set /p %var2=%

if %var2=% LSS 1|52456|NLM GOTO INVALID
if %var2=% EQU 1|52456|NLM GOTO NEW
if %var2=% GTR 1|52456|NLM GOTO SCORE

:INVALID
echo Sorry, you did not win any tickets this time!
PING -n 3 127.0.0.1 > NUL

:SCORE
echo Congratulations on a new high score!
PING -n 3 127.0.0.1 > NUL

:NEW
echo Congratulations on a new high score!
PING -n 3 127.0.0.1 > NUL
pause

Comments: You cannot set an environment variable name which contains =.

| is a special character which needs special processing.
