#209029 - 2014-06-25 05:43 AM First basic script
Dekkar Dekkar Just in Town Registered: 2014-06-25 Posts: 4 Loc: Syd, Aus	Hi guys, hopefully this is a very basic script... Its the first one ive tried and also my first post. Basically I wanted the script to do the following: If C:\file.doc exists exit else copy \\server\file.doc c:\ then exit. Is this possible with Kixtart? Thanks, dekkar

Dekkar Dekkar Just in Town Registered: 2014-06-25 Posts: 4 Loc: Syd, Aus	Hi Guys, after a bit of playing around and hunting around, I found that kix can inject registry files directly, so my script now looks like: IF NOT KeyExist("HKCU\Software\Work\Config\IncludeSubjectLabel") $rc = WriteValue("HKCU\Software\Work\Config\", "IncludeSubjectLabel", "0", "REG_DWORD") $rc = WriteValue("HKCU\Software\Work\Config\", "IncludeSubjectLabelOnBrowse", "0", "REG_DWORD") ENDIF I do have a question, for some reason, the script is executing even if the key exists. For example, if I change this key to have a value of "1", then relogon, it changes to "0".... So its changing the registry regardless of the IF NOT. Is there something I'm missing?

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Small change that should work. Code: Break on $key = "HKCU\Software\Work\Config" If ReadValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabel") = "" $rc = WriteValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabel", "0", "REG_DWORD") $rc = WriteValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabelOnBrowse", "0", "REG_DWORD") EndIf Edited by Mart (2014-07-01 09:34 AM) _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Actually, Mart's example will show that the value located at the Key path is empty. A small distinction, but important to understand as a new scripter. If you need to know if it didn't exist instead of being empty, you could read the location into a variable, then check @ERROR. If the ERRROR macro contained the value "2", then it did not exist. Code: Break on $key = "HKCU\Software\Work\Config" $RC = ReadValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabel") If @ERROR = 2 $rc = WriteValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabel", "0", "REG_DWORD") $rc = WriteValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabelOnBrowse", "0", "REG_DWORD") EndIf Also - Registry objects consist of a Key and Value. Values contain Data of a specific Type - this info is needed to Write the object. You can think of the KEY as the PATH and VALUE like the FILE in a disk structure. Functions that deal with keys won't include the value part, which was the issue in your first attempt. If it's simply important that the registry object contain specific data, then it doesn't matter what method you use. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 311 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	I think your first code was not so bad but you used keyexist to test if a value exist. If the test on key is enough, use the code below : Code: $key = "HKCU\Software\Work\Config" If not KeyExist($key) $rc = WriteValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabel", "0", "REG_DWORD") $rc = WriteValue($key, "IncludeSubjectLabelOnBrowse", "0", "REG_DWORD") EndIf if you want to make configuration if value doesn't exist, use glenn's code _________________________ Christophe
