I have to figure out how to parse the file correctly. I dont do a lot of
scripting, so everything is slow going for me. The file has a number of
mapped drives and commented lines. I can ignore commented lines and focus
on
lines that start with a $. This is what I have to parse:

----------

;
; Windows NT and Windows For Workgroups Logon Script
;

$NameLine = "my region"
$HelpDesk = "555-555-5555"

$Drive1 = M:
$Name1 = "drivea"
$Dir1 = "\\server\mapm"

$Drive3 = W:
$Name3 = "driveb"
$Dir3 = "\\server\mapw"

;
; the following should reflect appropriate mapped drive for location
;

$Drive4 = H:
$Name4 = "drivec"
$Dir4 = "\\server\maph"

$Drive5 = P:
$Name5 = "drived"
$Dir5 = "\\server\mapp"

$Drive6 = k:
$Name6 = "drivee"
$Dir6 = "\\server\mapk"

Your reply is a little too vague to give you a precise
recipe but the following batch file may well do the job.
Here is what you need to do:
- Use copy & paste to copy the code into a batch file.
- Adjust Lines 03 and 04 to suit your own environment.
- Remove the line numbers.
- Test the batch file.
- When happy with the result, activate the batch file by
removing the word "echo" on Line 09.

01. @echo off
02. setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
03. set ShareName=$Dir6
04. set ShareList=c:\Shares.txt
05.
06. for /F "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%a in ('type %ShareList%') do (
07. set Share=%%a
08. set Share=!Share: =!
09. if /i !Share!==%ShareName% echo call %%b\netlogon.bat
10. )
Feel free to ask if you want to know how and why the code works.
