#124449 - 2004-08-04 07:00 PM Looking for a registry script
Pooz Pooz Lurker Registered: 2004-08-04 Posts: 4	Hi everyone - I hope someone can help me out with this. 1. Scan registry 2. Check for a value name in a specific folder (Specific folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\.....\, Value name: PromptData) 3. If value name does not exist, END. 4. If value name does exist, delete key entirely. 5. END Thanks!

Code: If ReadValue("HKLM\SomeSubKey","SomeValue") If DelKey("HKLM\SomeSubKey") "An error occured: " + @SERROR ? EndIf EndIf

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	If checking for the Value "Name" and not the Value "Data", then something like this should work: Code: break on If ReadValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KiXtart','foo') <> '' $rc = DelKey('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KiXtart\New Key') EndIf Edited by Les (2004-08-04 07:15 PM) _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Actually, that code is what I call "cheap and dirty logic". If the value data for the value name is blank, it will bite. The more bulletproof way would be to EnumValue() all the values. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
