Function to see if a UNC path is mapped?

[drwtsn32]

Is there a built in function that will determine if a UNC path is mapped, and return the drive letter if so?

Sort of the opposite of how @TRUENAME will return the UNC path of a mapped drive letter.

Thanks

Something like this might get you started.

echo %@word[1,%@execstr[net use | ffind /k/m/t"\\computer\share"]]

Thanks, but I was hoping there might be a purely internal function that does not require running an external command. I already know how to do it that way :) thanks though.

Hi,
Take a look at http://www.jpsoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1344

While it does not return the drive letter, I'm sure that it is possible to extend this .BTM to do so using the @WMI Variable Function.

I'll see if this is possible (it should be).

Here's what I've found.

I have drive I: and drive G: mapped on my system. Using WMI I found the following;

wmiquery /a root\CIMV2 "SELECT * FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE Name = 'G:'"
Caption = G:
Compressed = False
DeviceID = G:
FileSystem = FAT32
FreeSpace = 216183439360
MaximumComponentLength = 255
Name = G:
ProviderName = \\Storage-11c5\PUBLIC\JCaverly_Backup
SessionID = 66992
Size = 499983122432
SupportsDiskQuotas = False
SupportsFileBasedCompression = False
SystemCreationClassName = Win32_ComputerSystem
SystemName = LRDELLXP
VolumeName = PUBLIC

echo %@wmi[root\CIMV2 "SELECT * FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE Name = 'G:'"]
G:
False
G:
FAT32
216183439360
255
G:
\\Storage-11c5\PUBLIC\JCaverly_Backup
66992
499983122432
False
False
Win32_ComputerSystem
LRDELLXP
PUBLIC

echo %@wmi[root\CIMV2 "SELECT * FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE Name = 'I:'"]
I:
False
I:
FAT32
216183439360
255
I:
\\Storage-11c5\PUBLIC\JLC\My Documents\My Music\My MP3s
66992
499983122432
False
False
Win32_ComputerSystem
LRDELLXP
PUBLIC

wmiquery /a root\CIMV2 "SELECT * FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE ProviderName = '\\\\Storage-11c5\\PUBLIC\\JCaverly_Backup'"
Caption = G:
Compressed = False
DeviceID = G:
FileSystem = FAT32
FreeSpace = 216183439360
MaximumComponentLength = 255
Name = G:
ProviderName = \\Storage-11c5\PUBLIC\JCaverly_Backup
SessionID = 66992
Size = 499983122432
SupportsDiskQuotas = False
SupportsFileBasedCompression = False
SystemCreationClassName = Win32_ComputerSystem
SystemName = LRDELLXP
VolumeName = PUBLIC

wmiquery /a root\CIMV2 "SELECT * FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE ProviderName = '\\\\Storage-11c5\\PUBLIC\\JLC\\My Documents\\My Music\\My MP3s'"

DeviceID = I:

You can use @EXECSTR to return whatever line that you want from the command.

Hope this helps.

Nice one, Joe.

You can make the output terser and do a backwards lookup (which is
what the OP wants to do). Note the (apparently necessary) doubling of
backslashes.

wmiquery /a root\CIMV2 "SELECT ProviderName FROM
Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE Name = 'K:'"
\\lucky\e$

wmiquery /a root\CIMV2 "SELECT Name FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE
ProviderName = '\\\\lucky\\e$'"
K:

This suggests:

FUNCTION ISPATHMAPPED `%@execstr[wmiquery /a root\CIMV2 "SELECT
Name FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE ProviderName = '%1'"]`

echo %@ispathmapped[\\\\lucky\\e$]

K:

 

[vefatica]

Even better,

v:\> FUNCTION ISPATHMAPPED `%@execstr[wmiquery /a root\CIMV2
"SELECT Name FROM Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE ProviderName '%@replace[\,\\,%1]'"]`

v:\> echo %@ispathmapped[\\lucky\e$]
K:

Note the (apparently necessary) doubling of
backslashes.

This is because ProviderName is not a key.

If it were a key, then the backslashes would not have to be doubled.

At least, that is what I have discovered through trial and error.

In http://www.jpsoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1344 I used %@replace[\,\\,%_cwd] to allow for entry of a normal path with backslashes, which transforms a normal path into the required path for the query.

You can use the @WMI function instead of @EXECSTR[ wmiquery /a ...]

FUNCTION ISPATHMAPPED `%@wmi[root\CIMV2 "SELECT Name FROM
Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE ProviderName = '%@replace[\,\\,%1]'"]`

echo %@ispathmapped[\\lucky\e$]

Excellent! Didn't even think of using WMI.

Also I changed it from "%@execstr wmiquery" to just "%@wmi". Works great!

function IsPathMapped `%@wmi[root\cimv2, "SELECT Name from Win32_MappedLogicalDisk WHERE ProviderName = '%@replace[\,\\,%1]'"]`

Thanks guys!
