#122305 - 2004-07-07 06:05 PM Reading registry values to validate string.
operez operez Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-08-08 Posts: 75	I am reading the values for the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Excel\microsoft excel" registry sub-key into an array, then sorting the array in ascending order. I want to read the string value of all the OPEN values. I set $valueIndex = 1 and then do: Code: For Each $element in $valuearray If $element = "OPEN" + $ValueIndex If @ERROR = 0 $stringvalue = ReadValue($regsubkey, $element) ? $stringvalue $ValueIndex = $ValueIndex + 1 EndIf EndIf Next My first problem is that after I get to OPEN9 it increments to OPEN10 but doesn’t read from value OPEN10 on. OPEN values are listed in ascending order as listed below: OPEN OPEN1 OPEN10 OPEN11 OPEN12 OPEN2 OPEN3 OPEN4 OPEN5 OPEN6 OPEN7 OPEN8 OPEN9 Which may be the reason it skips from OPEN10 on. Also I want to read the value of OPEN and if I set $valuearray = 0 or “”, the script doesn’t work. Once I get past this point, my intensions are to verify string values are valid, remove duplicates or invalid entries and rename the next OPEN value if I have to delete a value. Hope I’m making sense and someone can help.

If you have collected the "value" names then just use them. Is @error getting set to a non zero value on the previous read? You have no mechanism to reset it once you get an error. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

operez operez Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-08-08 Posts: 75	So, how do I distinguish between OPENs, if I don’t tack on a number to it? And, the collection includes several other values other then OPENs. I don’t want to process them. And, how would I then say, OK I had to delete OPEN7 now I need to read the next value to see if there is a OPEN8 and if there is I want to delete OPEN8 and re-create OPEN7 with the string value from OPEN8, and so on, if I don’t tack on a number to it? Sorry, I’m still new to Kix and don’t get a chance to use it enough to become proficient with it.

I would use associative arrays such that you can keep OPEN3 in the same array element position in a second array. See Hash() Library UDF's for some UDF's that can accomplish this. A simply approach may be to join the value name and the returned data from the READVALUE into a string separated by a known delimiter like "~". Or a multi-dimensional array Dim $Array[12,2] _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/
