Read registry key - write custom.ini

[attactician]

Hello, I need to create an application that simply reads the value of a specific registry key, and then writes that value to a custom.ini file in the following format:

[sTART_CIM_OBJECT]

OEMDuplicatorString = laptopimage2010

[END_CIM_OBJECT]

The 'OEMDuplicatorString' is the name of the key I would be reading, and the value is to the right of the = sign.

If someone could start me in the right direction, I would take it from there, I just don't know how to start the code.

Thank you

you could use iniwrite but that structure is set up like

[section]

1=some value

2=some value

3=

[next section]

1=

2=

etc

etc

if you were to use this option you would use

$reg=RegRead ( "keyname", "valuename" )

IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", $reg )

if the ini doesn't exist, it will be created.

That did it, with a little modification because iniwrite doesn't seem to support adding sections or anything extra, I used FileWrite in addition.

$reg=RegRead ( "HKLM\System\Setup", "OEMDuplicatorString" )

IniWrite ( "custom.ini", "START_CIM_OBJECT", "OEMDuplicatorString", $reg )
FileWrite ("custom.ini" , "[END_CIM_OBJECT]")
