Lookup String Management in the help file. You'll fing there basic string manipulation functions, like StringMid.

But the stingmid does not allow to read from registry.

Hy firefox

I need to read Character form the registri to declar one var

i have the key sourcepah on registry with the text sb1cd1test, an i need to read from the 3 Character until the 8 Character

in this case the var should be sb1cd1.

ok for you like this?

Maybe you don't make enough efforts to make it work.

jchd gave you the way to go :

$var = regread("hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversion", "sourcepath;2,6")
ConsoleWrite(StringMid($var, 3, 8) & @CrLf)

Br, FireFox.

You can't do it in one statement.

You first read the registry key and assign the content to a variable (RegRead)

Then you use any of the string functions to strip out the part of the string you need (StringMid).

Maybe you don't make enough efforts to make it work.

FireFox said that, not jchd. We were all new at one point, but using the help file and trying to show effort i.e. posting code will help you with finding the answer to your problem.
