supraspecies Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I am quite familiar with this well-known replace text solution:$szText = FileRead($szFile,FileGetSize($szFile)) $szText = StringReplace($szText, "replace me", "with me") FileDelete($szFile) FileWrite($szFile,$szText)Problem is, when I apply it to a REG file, it does not reconstruct the file correctly. I'm gonna have to include a screenshot for this one:To the left is original, to the right - reconstructed. How would I edit the file maintaining its format?P.S. Pardon me for the big image, I am not yet sure what is the hide tag in the forum.
BrewManNH Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Files with the .reg extension are just INI files, you could try it using the INI* functions instead of StringReplace. Just a thought. 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.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

supraspecies Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Ok, I think I found a solution. _ReplaceStringInFile. Testing now. If I'll have any further questions, I'll post them. Files with the .reg extension are just INI files, you could try it using the INI* functions instead of StringReplace. Just a thought. Thanks! I didn't... realize that, lol. So stupid of me... I need to edit this particular part though: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionMMDevicesAudioRender{199da893-117f-497d-aa29-03efab96c7bf}FxProperties] It wouldn't be a typical value/data edit. Yup, _ReplaceStringInFile did it, maintaining the original file structure. Great. Edited March 11, 2013 by supraspecies
