Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Jens There is a typo in both the original Import2 posting and in the Zip file The Import2\Subdirectory1 "Binary1" entry contains this string ...,726f,... (missing ',') Not sure what WSH functions people are using... [ 14 July 2002, 21:48: Message edited by: AJH ]

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Yeah, I "fixed" it too at first, but that particular value reported an error and in my zombie state late last night it seemed as though it was not suppose to exist according to the test code. So I recoded my script to check for missing commas and discard the line. Somebody let me know if it was a typo. Now that I am again awake, I might be able to collate the tasks at hand.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	also, didn't get a reply to my question: do we need to supress return codes? I mean, function return 0 on success. can we let them be output to console as long as the function works? when we must replace the regedit /s, do we also need to have setconsole("hide") in our function? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ok, didn't read the test script well enough. as didn't even used it. as it does not have all reg types... uttleast seems so. anyway, forgot one feature. that means my score will increase. I'll be back. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

I'm getting also over 1000 here. didn't use the explicit and now it does not allow any of my lines. if not getting it working, will leave this battle. too much frustration. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11164 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Folks: I just uploaded a new .ZIP file with the test script and the .REG files. Get it here: http://people.bu.edu/jenmeyer/kixtart/golf.zip And yes, there is a faulty dataset in one of the .REG files, and I put this in deliberately There doesn't need to be UNICODE support in this routine, just support for REGEDIT4 .REG files. With regards to return codes, the only return code is the one for ImportRegFile(), there shouldn't be any screen output inside the UDF. I alos have put a Windows 2000 UNICODE file into the ZIP package, which is NOT part of the test script. The test script basically checks whether the keys/values/types are correct, and whether the appropriate keys/values have been deleted. BTW, my count is currently 1813 without shortened variables and using pure KiXtart (not even a call to an outside object) but including some error checking for correct file type and syntax. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

No, you don't need that. I was imagining a simple UDF that runs the .REG files fed to it and returns an error code inducation whether the file was imported correctlt or not (e.g. file not found). Since REGEDIT /S doesn't tell you if some imports haven't been doen because of syntax error, it is not necessary for the UDF to do this either. Finally, I didn't put all types of registry entries into the test .REG files, just the most important ones. So, a UDF posted into the UDF section might need to contain those cases, too, but for this exercise, it is not necessary. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	no. I can admit this is getting weird. if I loose explicit and novarsinstring and array support my script works fine. if I try to make it work with any of those, only errors occurs... I won't sleep tonight, that's for sure. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

I haven't checked everything and I don't if everything works correctly yet, but I can correctly enum everything. It's interesting at (KixGolf score = 909). _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	mmm... golf.kix checks for defaultvalues. that's ok. but, my script does not create them and still they come up in regedit. and your script says 7 errors found. if I've understood correctly, default value is allways there when key is made and it can't be removed. and when not set, it also is reg_sz. anyway, my script is fine now with your strict rules and it also works with the reg-types not needed by this golf course. KixGolf score = 775 btw, hoby, your v3 gave just score 0 cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet
