I am trying to parse the output of "net use" in a bash script, but hit
a roadblock:
The output of "net use" changes with the language of the system

How can I force the language used by "net use" to English, even if the
system default language is Danish or French?
This sounds like an XY problem[1] to me....
What is the goal you're trying to accomplish? Enumerate existing
connections? Get drive mappings?
Basically I need every bit of information out of "net use", "net
config", "net statistics", "net view" and so on, parse it in bash or
perl, process it in bash, and output it in JSON format from the bash
script for our (Linux-based) admin report interface.
Hi Mark,
Two suggestions for getting the information you need:
- set up a local user admin account locale with English language and regional
settings
- look into registry virtualization, where you can temporarily replace part of
the user registry with a saved hive, containing the keys to be changed.
You can also make these changes with group policy editor.
Below is the Cygwin view of significant user locale registry entries (easier to
use with path lookup and completion); you can also use Windows `reg query`:
