Get the share name by piping Net Use?

I am writing a cmd batch job wherein I must check to see where a drive
letter is mapped and then perform some action. I am thinking that the
simplest method would be to pipe Net Use and then parse the input.

For example,

:\ Net Use K:

Local name K:
Remote name \\server\share
Resource type Disk
Status OK
# Opens 20
# Connections 1
The command completed successfully.

What I would like to do is something like the following pseudo code:
If "Net Use K:" Contains "\\server\share" Then Goto Subroutine

How can I code this in batch for a Win2000 computer?

Thanks in advance,

This for loop will find the shares. You must use %% instead of % if batching

for /f "tokens=2" %A in ('net use') do @echo %~A | findstr ":

Produces this list on my machine

Watch out! I misjudged the length of that line. The line that begins with
":letter" should end in "cmd.exe". "cmd.exe" should not be on its own line.

This should also work with unusal server/share names.

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions
set RS=\\server\share
set DR=k:
for /f "tokens=1,*" %%A in ('net use %DR%^|find "\\"') DO (
if "%%B" EQU "%RS%" call :sub)

If you know the drive letter you are checking and the share,
the following follows your pseudo code:

----start
net use K: | find /I "\\server\share" && goto Subroutine

:Subroutine
echo Found server\share - do processing
------- end

We dicker and compromise and everybody thinks he has received a raw
deal, but somehow after a tedious amount of talk we come up with a
jury-rigged to do it without getting anybody's head bashed in. That's
politics.

Many thanks, gentlemen. You have made my life easier.
