The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

set a varible from registy key

Asked by bt707 in VB Script, Visual Basic Programming

I have a script that uses a file of "eudora.ini" I use this file to make a backup copy then get info out of to use for the rest of the script, most of the users have it in a defult location but some do not.

I have this script below that will find the location of the file from the registry then echo it out for now.

Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
strComputer = "."
Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
 strKeyPath = "software\Qualcomm\Eudora\CommandLine"
strValueName = "Current"
objRegistry.GetStringValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue

If IsNull(dwValue) Then
    Wscript.Echo "cound not find the file path"
Wscript.Quit
Else  
      Wscript.Echo dwValue
End If


Currently this will echo out this string it finds.

C:\PROGRA~1\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe D:\DOCUME~1\Mail D:\DOCUME~1\Mail\Eudora.ini


What I want it to do is get the path from this line which is D:\DOCUME~1\Mail D:\DOCUME~1\Mail\Eudora.ini then put it into a varible so I can use the varible to tell my script the path to their eudora.ini file

So I need to create a varible from this line:
C:\PROGRA~1\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe D:\DOCUME~1\Mail D:\DOCUME~1\Mail\Eudora.ini

To pull the part I need from it and have a varible something like this:

Dem stringpath
stringpath = "D:\DOCUME~1\Mail\Eudora.ini"    --- also I need to have the varible include the double quotes around it
"D:\DOCUME~1\Mail\Eudora.ini"


So what I want to do from this code, Is not echo it out but set it to a varible using the path at the end and keep it in double quots
stringpath = "D:\DOCUME~1\Mail\Eudora.ini" Start Free Trial
