Help with signs

[DarkRage]

Hi, I'm new here. I'm Spanish, so sorry for my English. My problem is this: I have these paths extracted of a value reg:

Regedit --> "C:\windows\regedit.exe -s /hide ('System')"

other reg --> C:\windows\otherfile.exe

other reg2 --> C:\windows\otherfile2.exe

other reg3 --> C:\windows\otherfile3.exe -h

other reg4 --> C:\windows\otherfile4.exe /local

I just want the path of all:

C:\windows\regedit.exe

C:\windows\otherfile.exe

C:\windows\otherfile2.exe

C:\windows\otherfile3.exe

C:\windows\otherfile4.exe

But some paths have other signs after the extension. I've tried to do it with this function "StringSplit" for to delimit the signs and get only the path, but this sign can be in the path. For example:

Other reg --> "C:\windows\other-file.exe

So, I've tried with this function "_PathSplit":

For $i = 1 To 100
Local $var = RegEnumVal("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", $i)
If @error <> 0 Then ExitLoop
Local $var2 = Regread("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", $var)
Local $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt
Local $TestPath = _PathSplit($var2, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt)
msgbox(0,"",$TestPath[1] & $TestPath[2] & $TestPath[3] & ".exe",0)
Next

I think that with this example would extract the path, but it extract all, including -s /hide ('System')",-h,/local...etc

thank you for your consideration of this matter and sorry for the wrong words.

hi mate, maybe you can use stringmid to get only the extension.

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt
$claveleida="C:windowsotherfile3.exe -h"
Local $TestPath = _PathSplit($claveleida, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt)
$splitextension=StringMid($szExt,1,4)
msgbox(0,"",$TestPath[1]&$TestPath[2]&$TestPath[3]&$splitextension)

Saludos también hablo español.

Hi DanyFirex, thanks for help. Your code works, but only works with your string. I need to do this with all values that I get, obviously, I ignore if the value is normal or it has signs after path. If value is normal, get the path, it's easy... But, get the path without signs it's difficult.

I need obviate the final signs, in other words, I need the path, from first word of drive to the final word of extension.

[Danyfirex]

ok right so use stringsplit, You split the extension ontil " " one space.

look

#include 
#include 

Local $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt
$claveleida="C:windowsotherfile3.exe -h"
Local $TestPath = _PathSplit($claveleida, $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt)
$splitextension=StringSplit($szExt," ")
msgbox(0,"",$TestPath[1]&$TestPath[2]&$TestPath[3]&$splitextension[1])

Try this:

$i = 1
While True
    Local $var = RegEnumVal("HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", $i)
    If @error <> 0 Then ExitLoop
    Local $var2 = Regread("HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", $var)
    Local $sRes = StringRegExpReplace($var2, '["]|(.*w+.w+)(.*)', "$1")
    If $sRes <> "" Then ConsoleWrite($var2 & @LF & $sRes & @LF & @LF)
    $i += 1
WEnd

Br,

Thanks to both. Danyfirex, thanks for code, but it doesn't work very well. UEZ, thank you very well, your code works perfectly I have a doubt, what does mean this line?

$sRes = StringRegExpReplace($var2, '["]|(.*w+.w+)(.*)', "$1")

Thanks to both.

Look up StringRegExpReplace in the help file, and you will be able to read all about it.
