Ey,

Ik heb een Registry map genaamd 'info'
maar ik wil dat het script een array aanmaakt waarin alle value's uit de 'info' map in staan.

Is dit mogelijk ?

Sure that gives one specified value, but he want's to get all the values from one key.

I know How to do read and Write, but is it possible to let an script reading the Registry folder en set al the value's into an array.

With RegRead is only possible to read one.

that wont help.

The registry activex object is very very limited. It can not be used for what Rene wants.

RegWrite, RegRead and RegDelete are the only ones that JScript knows and those methods are very, and I mean very, limited.

eg:
  • You can not check if a registry key exists or not with RegRead; it will produce an error. => can be worked around using error checking.
  • You can not write bigger values than a DWORD to a binary registry value (this means no binary data strings for example)
  • You can not write a REG_MULTI_SZ value with RegWrite
  • You can not enumerate registry keys
  • and the list goes on...

To do more than simple reading a known value, you need to revert to the registry Windows APIs and enumeration.

@Rene

Can't you just simply export that registry map within Windows registry editor? What's the purpose of your request?

That's not realy true, it is possible with try and catch, without error.

And if he calls his registry values 1, 2, 3 etc and adds a value with the total number of values in the key, then use a for loop to read them all and store them in an array?
