#124046 - 2004-07-28 01:00 PM environment path edit
otf otf Getting the hang of it Registered: 2003-11-21 Posts: 53 Loc: Scotland	hello, i need to check HKLU environment path for reference to a UNC path. If the path exists, remove it. I've tried searching various topics but can't tailor anything for my needs. here is what i have so far (very poor i know but i'm trying). $reg=ReadValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment','Path') if 'path' = "\\server\netlogon" "yes" else "no" endif now, i know this is incorrect, it always returns no because there are other entries in the path. any help would be appreciated.

Use Split() to break the path into array elements and then AScan() to search for the element. Then reassemble the elements, leaving out the one you don't want and write it back. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
