I'm working on a vbscript that uses curl in a very simplistic form and
wish to have the output placed in a variable for use later on in my
script. Did I overlook how to do this in the docs?

Running the example below would yield a workstation name being output to
the console/screen. ie: EMC30884
I wish place the output into a variable (strWSNewName) and use it later
in my vbscript to rename the workstation.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Example:
----8<--snip---
' using mac address, retrieve workstation name from database.
set macaddress=000f1f86563b
set url="http://hwaddr.intraweb/?hw_address="
url=url & macaddress
' final url would be http://hwaddr.intraweb/?hw_address=000f1f86563b
curl url
----8<--snip---

as executed in dos:
C:\Users\eric>set url=http://hwaddr.intraweb/?hw_address=000f1f86563b
C:\Users\eric>curl %url%
EMC30884
C:\Users\eric>

Thanks,
Eric
