How about that:
Dim winShl
Dim regVal
Set winShl = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
regVal = winShl.RegRead("someRegKey")
hi frankhelk
this what i need :
Dim winShl
Dim regVal
Set winShl = CreateObject("WScript.Shel
regVal = winShl.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL
wscript.echo regVal
the cache is the registry i don't know exactly his name
i need something like this
Dim winShl
Dim regVal
Set winShl = CreateObject("WScript.Shel
regVal = winShl.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL
wscript.echo regVal
this what i need :
Dim winShl
Dim regVal
Set winShl = CreateObject("WScript.Shel
regVal = winShl.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL
wscript.echo regVal
the cache is the registry i don't know exactly his name
i need something like this
Dim winShl
Dim regVal
Set winShl = CreateObject("WScript.Shel
regVal = winShl.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL
wscript.echo regVal
OK - the solution I gave you reads a value with an exactly known registry path.
If you don't know the eact location, you'll have to iterate thru the respective registry key ... there are several ways to do that, and I don't want to post other people's code.
If you squeeze a serch engine for "WScript.Shell parse registry vbs" you should get a load of examples ...

hi
i found this code
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window
Sub EnumerateKeys(hive, key)
WScript.Echo key
reg.EnumKey hive, key, arrSubKeys
If Not IsNull(arrSubKeys) Then
For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
EnumerateKeys hive, key & "\" & subkey
Next
End If
End Sub
Set reg = GetObject("winmgmts://./ro
EnumerateKeys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath
but this search for key , i need to search inside the key like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
this script search in uninstall key for subkey and i need to search key & subkey & Helplink ( value )
i found this code
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window
Sub EnumerateKeys(hive, key)
WScript.Echo key
reg.EnumKey hive, key, arrSubKeys
If Not IsNull(arrSubKeys) Then
For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
EnumerateKeys hive, key & "\" & subkey
Next
End If
End Sub
Set reg = GetObject("winmgmts://./ro
EnumerateKeys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath
but this search for key , i need to search inside the key like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
this script search in uninstall key for subkey and i need to search key & subkey & Helplink ( value )
That script uses recusion to enumerate all keys within a given key, but it does nothing with that.
Besides of calling EnumerateKeys () again to dive deeper into the subkeys, it should enumerate the values, too with reg.EnumValues and i.e. add their paths to a list of values (probably with pre-filtering them). After parsing everything in the subkey you could use the list to find the values key(s) you're really interested in.
P.S.: In the aspect of that post, a "key" is like a directory on a disk, a "subkey" is like a subdirectory, and a "value" is like a file on the disk, which has some content ... a somewhat irritating naming convention from Microsoft ....

i want to write a script that search for the value OptionsFile and and the value data would be C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\tdpsql\ds
the problem is that i don't known the right key because its may be different name for every server - i know that the key in under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
i attach print script to this question the key Tsm Sql Scheduler could be diffrent name for every server
the Parameters key is permanent
if the OptionsFile value is write i need to replace it
Thx
