RegRead

[layer]

when i do this regread, and put it in a msgbox, it returns NOTHING..

$readreg= RegRead ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\CurrentVersion\Users\" & $readin & "\Login\", "Password1")
MsgBox (0, "test", $readreg)

and yes, ive even added a value to the "Password1"... still, no results, any reason why??

thanks

hmmm... maybe AIM doesn't allow you to read from the registry with a program?

from helpfile..

Failure: Returns "" and sets the @error flag:

1 if unable to open requested key

-1 if unable to open requested value

-2 if value type not supported

Try the following:

$username = "aimusernamealllowercasewithoutspaces"
$key = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\CurrentVersion\Users\" & $username & "\Login"
$data = RegRead($key, "Password1")

MsgBox(4096,"Results", $data)

Edit: I think the trailing backslash caused the problem.

EDIT: the above code you posted works great!!! thanks! now how about the unlimited arrays?

See above post (modified).

I remember something regarding multi-dimensional arrays. It discussed the techinque of treating a single flat array as a a two-dimensional one.

Off the top of my head (calculations might be a bit off ,but you get the idea):

flat array:

ABCDEFGHIJKL

matrix (3 x 4):

ABCD

EFGH

IJKL

Letter G is the 7th element.

1+Int(7/4) == row 2

Mod(7, 4) == column 3

i was thinking more along the line of 37, 000 arrays? i know, a ton of em', but thats about how much data i have to read... any ideas?

P.S. @CS: i didn't quite understand what you meant, could you explain a little more? thanks
