What do you mean you won't know. You just echoed the output to whatever directory is assigned to the temp variable because you did the pushd first so use the temp variable with the set statement.
Set /p nick=<%temp%\nick.db

Word of advice to you. Make sure you close up the spaces when you are using redirects to a file. I see you do that a lot in most of your code posts. It is going to burn you one of these days.

Echo %var% >myfile.txt
Is not the same as
Echo %var%>myfile.txt
