Using WMIC to get a specific Process ID

i'm trying write batch file grab processid of specific w3wp.exe process. there multiple w3wp's running on server, need add clause right one. can part...so, i've got far:

for /f %%a in ('wmic process "commandline '%%prod%%'and name='w3wp.exe'" processid ') echo %%a

the problem output contains literal column heading 'process id' along numeric value process id i'm looking for. want actual pid, can store in variable , use further down in batch file.

any appreciated.

thank you.

if powershell solution this:

get-process w3wp |  select id | ft -autosize

or can use: stop-service w3wp

but if want batch file, guess kinda hard..

batch file:

 for /f "tokens=2" %%i in ('tasklist ^| find "w3wp.exe"') set pid=%%i
