hook-scripts & .bat files

Ok SOMEBODY must have came up against this one so here goes.

What I am trying to do is fire off a hook script from a .bat file, I THINK I
have got most of the syntax right (at least from what I have read) but iam
having trouble trying to figure out how to assign a variable a result from
an operation eg::

<from post-commit.bat>
SET REPOS=%1
SET REV=%2
SET LOG=`D:\INSTALLS\Subversion\bin\svnlook log -r %REV% %REPOS%`
SET AUTHOR=`D:\INSTALLS\Subversion\bin\svnlook author -r %REV% %REPOS%`
SET TRAC_ENV='D:\MEDIA\DB-TRAC\cfl.db'

D:\INSTALLS\Python\Python.exe
D:\MEDIA\DB-SVN\c.f.l\hooks\trac-post-commit-hook -p %TRAC_ENV% -r %REV% -u
%AUTHOR% -m %LOG%

SET REPOS=
SET REV=
SET LOG=
SET AUTHOR=
SET TRAC_ENV=

So how would I assign the value of LOG to be what svnlook returns?

If I can get it right I might even be able to submit a patch to the dev list
to provide examples of how us windows weenies can run hook scripts from bat
files.
