Delete some characters from .reg file

[dexter23]

Hi,

I have a big .reg file from which I want to delete all "\" and "," characters.

How can I achieve this?

StringReplace()

Hi.

No clue what you wanna do with the resulting "invalid" REG file, but never mind

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>

Dim $RegArr

$RegFile = "c:\temp\dummy.reg"
_FileReadToArray($RegFile, $RegArr)
_ArrayDisplay($RegArr, "Original Array")

For $i = 1 To $RegArr[0]
    $RegArr[$i] = StringReplace($RegArr[$i], "\", "")
    $RegArr[$i] = StringReplace($RegArr[$i], ",", "")
Next

_ArrayDisplay($RegArr, "Array Processing Done")
_FileWriteFromArray($RegFile, $RegArr,1)

Regards, Rudi.

Open with text editor

Find/Replace "\" with ""

Find/Replace "," with ""

Open with text editor

Find/Replace "\" with ""

Find/Replace "," with ""

That's way more work than writing a script if you have more than one file

True but if he has only one file then there is no point writing a script.

I have a big .reg file

I want to remove "," and "\" in order to use in a batch file with command REG ADD

This <code> is enough for me. Thanks!

You're welcome.

Instead of doing so much changes, try to make use of REGEDIT's silent switch:

regedit.exe /s YourRegFile.REG

You also might want to directly use the registry write capabilities of autoit:

RegWrite()
