WriteValue( )

Action: Creates a new key, adds another value-name to an existing key (and assigns it a value), or changes the value of an existing value-name.

Syntax: WriteValue ("subkey", "entry", "expression", "data type")

Parameters: Subkey
Identifies the subkey where you want to write a value entry.

Entry

The name of the entry. To write to the (default) entry of a key, specify an empty string as the entry name ("").

Expression

The data to store as the value of the entry.

REG_MULTI_SZ (multi-string) variables are returned with the pipe symbol ( | ) used as the separator between strings. If a string contains a pipe symbol character, it is represented by two pipe symbol characters ( || ).

Data type

Identifies the data type of the entry. The following data types are supported:
REG_NONE
REG_SZ
REG_EXPAND_SZ
REG_BINARY
REG_DWORD
REG_DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN
REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN
REG_LINK
REG_MULTI_SZ
REG_RESOURCE_LIST
REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR


Returns: 0 Value successfully written
Error code Function failed


Remarks: If the registry key that you are attempting to write a value to does not exist, it will be automatically created.

Example: $RC=WriteValue("EZReg\Test", "A MultiString variable", "Line 1|Line 2|Line 3 with a || in it|" "REG_MULTI_SZ")
If @ERROR = 0
? "Value written to the registry"
Endif
