searching for text and reading complete line.

[samueltb]

I'm looking for a script that will export a reg branch and then search it returning the value, I have to export the full key as some of the values I am looking are held within a string value key.

So far I can export the key and search using the dos find command but this creates another file which is then displayed and every search command inserts header into second txt file, I'm looking for a way to search a text file and return the complete line of text.

what I'm doing

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

FileDelete ("c:\alt_details.txt")

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c regedit.Exe /e c:\alt_details.txt ""HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Client Service""")

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c find ""TcpAddr="" c:\alt_details.txt >22.txt")

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c find ""IP-Address="" c:\alt_details.txt >>22.txt")

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c find ""Name="" c:\alt_details.txt >>22.txt")

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c find ""Computer-Name="" c:\alt_details.txt >>22.txt")

StringRegExp

values returned at present

---------- C:\ALT_DETAILS.TXT

TcpAddr=1.2.4.1

---------- C:\ALT_DETAILS.TXT

IP-Address=1.1.1.15

---------- C:\ALT_DETAILS.TXT

Name=SAS-A1SA

Computer-Name=SAS-A1SA

Domain-Name=

DNS-Domain-Name=

ConsoleName=

Product-Name=HP Compaq dc7100 SFF(DX878AV)

---------- C:\ALT_DETAILS.TXT

Computer-Name=SAS-A1SA

What i would like to get to if possible

TcpAddr=1.2.4.1

IP-Address=1.1.1.15

Name=SAS-A1SA

Computer-Name=SAS-A1SA

Domain-Name=

DNS-Domain-Name=

Thanks for any help.

Rather than use lots of FIND commands you could do something like this. (This is just written as a suggestion and not tried.)

FileDelete ("c:\alt_details.txt")

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c regedit.Exe /e c:\alt_details.txt  ""HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Client Service""")
$text = FileRead("C:\alt_details.txt")

;the things we want to read
$items = "TcpAddr|IP-Address|Name|Computer-Name|Domain-Name|DNS-Domain-Name|ConsoleName|Product-Name"
$items = StringSplit($Items);convert to array

$hFile = FileOpen("22.txt",2);open to write results, erasing previous contents
$OutPut = '';no results to start with

for $n = 1 to $Items[0];for each of the items
    $OutPut &= GetlineBeginning($Text,$Items[$n] & '=') & @CRLF
next

FileWrite($hFile,$OutPut)
FileClose($hFile)




Func GetlineBeginning($SearchText,$find)
    Local $pos = StringinStr($SearchText,$find)
    Local $Result = '',$Chr
    Local $Length = Stringlen($SearchText)
    While 1
        $chr = StringMid($SearchText,$pos,1)
        if $Chr = @CR or $Chr = @LF then exitloop
        $Result &= $Chr
        $Pos += 1
        if $Pos > $Length then ExitLoop
    Wend
    return $Result 
endfunc
