Check current user in batch

I want to check in a batch script if the current user logged in is a certain user in the domain. what i had in mind was:

if %username% == "Some_User_Name" (
...
)

When I do this its just skip the part in the: (). I know the user name is correct.

can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to right it?

thanks

2 Solutions:

if %username% == (Value of %Some_User_Name%)

or

if "%username%"=="%Some_User_Name%" goto IfStatement

:IfStatement
(Your code here)

CASE SENSITIVE!

This works for me:

C:\> if %USERNAME% == abelenky echo Current User Found
Current User Found

Notes:
It is case-sensitive on the string compared against (abelenky).
Putting in AbElEnKy does not work.

However, it is not case-sensitive for the environment variable: %UsErNaMe% worked just fine.
