Weird File Mode Problem

[agivx3]

Hi,

i am trying to read a file but i seems to be in an unknown file mode. I tried everything from ansi to utf but cant read it. Any idea or solution about this little problem ??
Also tried read to array and other stuff...
Here is the example code. The registry key may be also another one:

 

$cmd = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins" /reg:64 /S >C:\TEMP\TEST.TXT',"",@SW_HIDE)
$Target = "C:\TEMP\Test.txt"
Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($Target)
While 1
    $Text = FileReadline($hFileOpen)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    ConsoleWrite("TEXT: " & $Text & @LF)
Wend
FileClose($hFileOpen)

 

 

Thanks for help

Andi

Add some error checking after your FileOpen. It's likely that the file doesn't exist or can't be accessed because it's in use. You should change Run >> RunWait to allow the launched process to finish before your script proceeds.

You should highly consider using IniRead* functions instead of running an external process...

Thx, that was it. Seems i sometimes think too complicate. The easiest solution was so near...

@Nine You meant to say RegRead, correct?

I didn´t tell the purpose of the script. It was to read some special HKLM registry keys and values with all subkeys (also from remote computers) and then write the whole content to a working .REG file.

I have tried several Registry UDF´s, got only one working on local computer, but none for remote. With reg query it should be possible. I now only need to do a little parsing work. But thats no problem. The final script is now nearly complete and working.

Thanks once more !
