Windows PowerShell command not executed in a batch script-CodePudding

I have the following commands written on a batch file to obtain my computer's public IP from a remote URL via powershell command:

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
call :MyIP2
timeout /t 50
EXIT /B 0
:MyIP2
echo Obtaining my IP...
For /f %%A in ('powershell -NonI -NoP -C "(Invoke-Webrequest http://componentsearch.everscrape.com/scraper/ip).content"') Do echo %%A
EXIT /B 0

Now when I try to execute the batch file (even run as administrator), I got the following ouptut instead of the public IP of the computer I'm using.

Obtaining my IP...
Invoke-Webrequest
Internet
At
 
 
 
 
d

I'm currently running Windows Home with all the updates installed. Please any help is greatly appreciated.

try like this:

For /f  "tokens=* delims=" %%A in ('powershell -NonI -NoP -C "(Invoke-Webrequest """http://componentsearch.everscrape.com/scraper/ip""").content"') Do echo %%A

echo Obtaining my IP...
for /f  "tokens=* delims=" %%A in (
    'powershell -NonI -NoP -C "(Invoke-Webrequest """http://componentsearch.everscrape.com/scraper/ip""").content"'
) do (
    set "my_ip=%%A"
) 

echo %my_ip%

the URL needs to be in double quotes but in order to escape them when called from batch you need to use triple double quotes.

It seems this issue seem to occur on fresh installed windows. To fix, launch the Internet Explorer and select Recommended Settings.
