registry searching

[wesb]

Does anyone have an idea on how to search the registry for say all keys with the same name? I am looking to search the hkcu for all keys with value 001f6700 exists. then i want to see whether the value 001e3001 exists in the same subkey

Download the free 134 KB command-line registry editor--and FileInstall it with your AutoIt script if needed.

Example usage if reg.exe is in the same folder as your script:

Run(@ComSpec & '/c "REG FIND HKLM\SOFTWARE 001f6700" > output.txt')

Then parse output.txt

You have to specify a key (SOFTWARE in the example), so you may want to look at the RegEnum function available in the unstable AutoIt version

You could also use Autokey and they have a loop function to search registry and files. That is the only reason I use that program, as Autoit is much better, but that is a work around. Create an exe from the autohotkey and call the exe.

or if you can guess the max number of keys and use the Built in Functions

sweet.. I have been trying to code this for awhile now, do you mind if I use it on my scripts?, since I hate to keep on going back to autohotkey.
