Hi

is it possible to use the "net use" command with a "%1"

Ex:

ehco ENTER your server name
echo server name = %1
net use Z: \\%1 /Persitent:NO

thanks for your helpI tried a different approche but with no luck...

Code: [Select]echo enter your Server Name or IP adress
echo %1 1:Name
echo %1 2:IP
set choice=
set /p choice=
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto NAME
if '%choice%'=='2' goto IP

:NAME
net use z: \\%1 /PERSISTENT:NO

:IP
net use z: \\%1 /PERSISTENT:NO
The problem is that i'm not promt to enter any informations....

I'd like the %1 the be the info the user enter...It is not clear what you think "%1" is for.
 tried ANOTHER thing that almost do what I want it....

Code: [Select]:START
set /p nameorip="enter your Server Name or IP adress"
echo.
echo %nameorip%
if '%nameorip%'=='' GOTO errorlevel1
else (
GOTO NAMEORIP)

:NAMEORIP
net use z: \\%nameorip% /PERSISTENT:NO

:errorlevel1
echo you must input a string.
echo.
pause
exit
the problem here is : it does wait for me to input a string, but at the end of the line of ip adress.
so I take it that it does not reconize my string so it goes to the errorlevel.... Code: [Select]:START
set /p nameorip="enter your Server Name or IP adress"
echo.
echo %nameorip%
if '%nameorip%'=='' GOTO errorlevel1
net use z: \\%nameorip% /PERSISTENT:NO
goto end
:errorlevel1
echo you must input a string.
echo.
pause
:end
exithanks for the reply ! it's almost there !!

here's what "net use"'s returning me :

System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not FOUND.

also is there a WAY to input the string onto a different line then the first one ?

found what I was looking for on that...

but there is still the option I'm not too convinced about.... Quote from: metal_man77 on December 21, 2010, 01:21:58 PM

1. Try a CAPITAL letter for the drive letter Z
2. Do not put a space after the Z

What does this mean?

This was wrong.
