The solution for your problem is to put the "echo"s after the if block is completed. Try this:

@ECHO off
set /p pattern=Enter id:
findstr %pattern% .\a.txt > result
if %errorlevel%==0 (
    set var2=  test.txt
echo %var1%

:result
del result
pause

This way you can see the solution as you wanted. Cheers! ;]
