Cyclops Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hi, wan't to use the following script to change a regentry, but writing fails. Hope anyone knows why? When i declare another var - like $writestring = "1234" - then it works. Hope you could help me. Thanks $regread = RegRead ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2", "Settings") $splitstring = StringSplit ($regread, "") $replacestring = StringSplit ($CmdLineRaw, "") $splitstring[17] = $replacestring [1] $splitstring[18] = $replacestring [2] Dim $writestring For $i = 1 To $splitstring[0] $writestring = $writestring & $splitstring[$i] Next RegWrite ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2", "Settings1", "REG_Binary", $writestring) Cyclops Sorry for my cruel english :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 what's the value of $writestring before you write it?

Cyclops Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yes, i looked in the help and there i found that:When writing a REG_BINARY key use a string of hex characters, e.g. the REG_BINARY value of 01,a9,ff,77 can be written by using the string "01A9FF77".So i thougtm that i must only change it and then rewrite it... Between $regread and $writestring isn't a optical difference only the two changed strings... Sorry for my cruel english :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between $regread and $writestring isn't a optical difference only the two changed strings...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Like Kurt asked: What is the value of $writestring when doing the RegWrite() statement ? (if it doesn't contain a proper HEX value, the RegWrite() will fail)Also check the returncode of RegWrite to see if its 0 or 1.$rc = RegWrite() SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.
