Wow, I didn't think anyone would write a parser as a batch script! I
don't know enough about Windows commands to really understand what's
going on. Can you share a sample of what the output looks like? It
appears that you are searching for a few specific ports (22, 445, 2967)
in nmapparse.txt.

This could be a nice solution for people on Windows, where it is
sometimes difficult to get Perl or Python with an XML parser installed.

I don't know if it will help you using Windows commands, but have you
tried writing the parser for grepable (-oM) output? That format is
designed to be easy to process with text tools.
