Batch File and net use help

Comment:

Hi, I'm trying to work out if i can use a batch file to delete mapped drives if a certain condition is met, namely the computer name. I'm a bit clueless, but i thought something like the following might work. IF %computername%=="Satellite?" net use /delete f: This doesn't work unfortunately but helps to give an idea what i'm trying to do. Anyone know if its possible? Any suggestions? Chris

No, you can't use wildcards in comparing variables. However you can work around so: If %ComputerName:~0,9%==Satellite ... that compares the first nine chars of the name; other tricks like this can be adopted, but it is a quite complex issue.
