Specifically, how do we turn this:
 package:/data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og==/com.wemagineai.voila-eUnm7DkWz754o5t0a88gdA==/base.apk=com.wemagineai.voila
Into this (without knowing the name of the package ahead of time)
 /data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og==/com.wemagineai.voila-eUnm7DkWz754o5t0a88gdA==/base.apk

To be clear, the Windows batch problem I'm running into is:
 a. Windows CMD cannot seem to split on multi-character delimiters.
 b. So Windows CMD cannot therefore split on /base.apk.
 c. Windows CMD cannot seem to split on slash (/) either.
 d. Windows CMD cannot split on the package name (because it's unknown).
 e. Windows CMD cannot split on any character that appears inside the path.
 f. Including the equal sign (=) which appears in sequence sometimes (==).

For example, this doesn't work, even from the command line o/s of batch.

1. Spit out all packages (but testing with one)
  adb shell pm list packages -f | findstr /i com.wemagineai.voila > voila_1packages_raw.txt

   Inspect results
   type voila_1packages_raw.txt
   Actual Output = Expected Output
    package:/data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og==/com.wemagineai.voila-eUnm7DkWz754o5t0a88gdA==/base.apk=com.wemagineai.voila

2. Remove the 'package:' prefix, but keep the rest
    for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %A in (voila_1packages_raw.txt) do echo %A > voila_after_package.txt

   Inspect results
   type voila_after_package.txt
   Actual Output = Expected Output
    /data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og==/com.wemagineai.voila-eUnm7DkWz754o5t0a88gdA==/base.apk=com.wemagineai.voila

3. Extract everything up to /base.apk (the step I am stuck on!)
    for /f "tokens=1 delims==" %A in (voila_after_package.txt) do echo %A > voila_apkpath.txt

   Inspect results
   type voila_apkpath.txt
   Actual Output does not = Expected Output
   
This is the desired output:
   /data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og==/com.wemagineai.voila-eUnm7DkWz754o5t0a88gdA==/base.apk
This is the actual output:
  /data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og

That's just one of (oh, I can't count how many) parsing attempts I made.

In desperation, here's a summary of the problem, in a nutshell:
 a. I can't figure out how to turn a thousand lines like this:
     package:/data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og==/com.wemagineai.voila-eUnm7DkWz754o5t0a88gdA==/base.apk=com.wemagineai.voila

 b. Into this (without knowing the name of the package ahead of time)
     /data/app/~~0H1-2NstdUVjAZffiA36og==/com.wemagineai.voila-eUnm7DkWz754o5t0a88gdA==/base.apk

 c. Can you?
