Hello,
I have some problem with the hyphen. I am trying to use the macro @wuserid
If the windows user id is without hypen it works perfectly fine. If the userid contains hyphen, it does not work, giving error LABEL [<label>] not found!
a similar example below does not work as well
----
goto mytest-av '<-Have tried added in "mytest-av"
goto end
:mytest-av 'added quotation mark, still not work
"testing"
:end
-----
I tried to add the double quotation to the userid label(eg. :"abc-d") but it does not work. Please help. Below is my script algorithm.
---------
goto @wuserid
..
..
..
:abc
..
goto end
:abc-d
..
..
goto end
:end

Hi,
I will need to change some registry entry based on each windows username.
Is there an alternate way to do this? Is there a function to remove the hyphen? i.e - user abc-d become abcd, user df-erfg becomes dferfg
Thanks.

Is there a function to remove the hyphen
Yes, but I'd still advise that you don't use GoTo.
Better to use something like Select:
Select
Case @WUSERID="userA"
; Update Registry here
Case @WUSERID="anotheruser"
; Update regsitry here
Case @WUSERID="bill" OR @WUSERID="ben" OR @WUSERID="weed-little"
; Update registry here
EndSelect
Better still if there are common settings among the users is to use a parameter (INI) file. Read a profile from the parameter file and only set the registry if it is true.
To do this, create an INI file on your netlogon share that looks like this:
[userA]
Office=1
RemoteUser=0
DevTeam=0
[Bill]
Office=1
RemoteUser=0
DevTeam=1
Now in your script you can do this:
$sUserProfile=@LSERVER+"\netlogon\PARAMETER.INI"
If ReadProfileString($sUserProfile,@WUSERID,"Office")
; Do Office reg settings
EndIf
If ReadProfileString($sUserProfile,@WUSERID,"RemoteUser")
; Special login coding for remote users
EndIf
If ReadProfileString($sUserProfile,@WUSERID,"DevTeam")
; Install development tools for DevTeam members
EndIf
Still better again, use AD groups rather than the INI file.
If InGroup("Office Users")
; Do Office reg settings
EndIf
If InGroup("Remote Users")
; Special login coding for remote users
EndIf
If InGroup("Engineering Dev Team", "Accounting Dev Team", "Sales Dev Team")
; Install development tools for DevTeam members
EndIf
Finally, if you must use dodgy GoTo the simplest way to remove the hyphen is to use the Join(Split()) replace trick:
GoTo Join(Split(@WUSERID,"-"),"")

Hi All,
Thanks. That solves the problem.
Since it is for individual users, I will just use the Select statement.
:-)
