Read All Reg. Values into an array?

Hi,

The thing I'm looking for, is a command that is able to scan a Registry key a map it's Values / it's datas. Is there such a UDF or do you know if a similar thread is already discussed? I tried to look for it but I failed :)

Well, Currently It's late night at me so all the things I say is just Theory and I can't test it, so I'm sorry if I say sg. wrong.

As I think I could solve it by using RegEnumVal and RegEnumKey, but this way I can't be sure that I mapped all the values. If no other idea / solution exist, my one is this:

Loop the instances of the RegEnumVal, so it will return all the keys. The datas can be read by using simple regread, but my only problem is that I can't know the maximum value of the "instance".

Thats quite a noob solution, that's why I'm asking for a better one :) I hope you can give me a better one :)

[ Well I can loop it 200 times if it's really needed... It just looks weird that it "bruteforces" the registry :) ]

~ I hope you could understand me. Gonna answer tomorrow!

You can use RegEnumKey and RegEnumVal without having to know the maximum number of entries in the list. Here's a simple demonstration of what I mean.

For $i = 30 To 110
     Local $var = RegEnumKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE", $i)
     If @error <> 0 Then
          ConsoleWrite("Error encountered: when $i = " & $i & @CRLF)
          ExitLoop
     EndIf
     ConsoleWrite("SubKey #" & $i & " under HKLMSoftware: " & $var & @CRLF)
Next

NOTE: This was taken from the help file example script for RegEnumKey and modified slightly.

BTW, you'd have to create a recursive/iterative registry search routine so that you are sure you're getting all the subkeys and their values. It would be similar to the numerous recursive FileListToArray functions floating around here.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Try this, using the Country List as an example.

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $regKey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionTelephonyCountry List"

Global $arKeys = _EnumRegKeys2Array($regKey)

_ArrayDisplay($arKeys)

        $aResult[UBound($aResult) - 1][1] = $sRegKey_Value
