How about the following?

Everything after && is only executed if the error-level is 0.
The opposite would be ||.

May be you need to escape the % sign by using %%, \% or ^%.

Remember that the command line is not working the same way as the batch 
file, many times variable expansion is done in the batch file but not on 
the command line.

'---code start (watch for line wraps)

set type=REG_SZ
echo !pathrule! | find "%" && set type=REG_EXPAND_SZ

'---code end
