List registry to array?

[Matz 0]

Hi.

Anyone got a tip on how to list the keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT that hav an "." in front of them?

For example...

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip]

@="WinZip"

This is the "(default)" key under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip] that show what app that opens this type of file.

I'm building a search for users that wants to know what kind of filetypes a particular app is using

------------------------------------------

: Have you tried the new vista?

: No... I don't play games...

You could type "assoc" in the dos box, it gives the same result.

Thanks! That should do the trick actually...

If you were wanting a long UDF, this could start you off:

$aArrayReturned = _RegEnum('HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\')
Func _RegEnum($sKey)
    Local $aArray[1][1], $sEnum, $sHold, $iCC
    While 1
        $iCC += 1
        $sEnum = RegEnumKey($sKey, $iCC)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        If StringLeft($sEnum, 1) = '.' Then
            $sHold &= $sEnum & Chr(01)
        EndIf
    WEnd
    MsgBox(0, '', $sHold);could use StringSplit(StringTrimRight($sHold, 1), Chr(01)) to make it an array
EndFunc

Thanks

LOL, this seems to be much faster using xandl's suggestion!!

#include <array.au3>
$aReturned = _AssocExt()
_ArrayDisplay($aReturned, 'Array')
Func _AssocExt()
    RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c assoc > "' & @TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt"', '', @SW_HIDE)
    If Not FileExists(@TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt') Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Local $aSplit = StringSplit(StringStripCR(FileRead(@TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt')), @LF)
    FileDelete(@TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt')
    Return $aSplit
EndFunc

I know... Just what I needed actually. Hehe...

How about we take it one step more... read them, then write them to your own .ini then use IniReadSection() to get all the Keys and their Values stored nice and neat right there for you:

$hOutFile = @ScriptDir & '\AssocIni.ini'
$sString = _AssocExt($hOutFile)
$aSection = IniReadSection($hOutFile, 'AssocExtValues')
If IsArray($aSection) Then
    For $iCC = 1 To $aSection[0][0]
        MsgBox(64, 'Info', 'Key = ' & $aSection[$iCC][0] & @CR & _
            'Value = ' & $aSection[$iCC][1])
    Next
EndIf

Func _AssocExt($hOutIni)
    RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c assoc > "' & @TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt"', '', @SW_HIDE)
    If Not FileExists(@TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt') Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Local $sFRead = FileRead(@TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt')
    FileDelete(@TempDir & '\AssocOutput.txt')
    FileClose(FileOpen($hOutIni, 2))
    FileWriteLine($hOutIni, '[AssocExtValues]')
    Return FileWrite($hOutIni, $sFRead)
EndFunc
