The 'net use' command output is not designed for parsing. For example, the
'net user' command outputs usernames in separate columns, and truncates
usernames that are longer than some number of characters (I forget how
many), so it's not a reliable source of truth anyway.

You will need to get the information a different way. As has been
mentioned, on the Windows platform, the best approach would be to use
PowerShell rather than trying to perform parsing on output that's not
designed to be parsed in the first place.
