Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	I think that if you return '0' as output it'll be fine since 'REGEDIT /S' doesn't return any error codes either. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	I know that we are to make the code work with the test files, but... code: if $d=7 $m="MULTI_SZ" $s=$s+"\|" endif is not functional for a REG_MULTI_SZ that has text on the second line. Jens, are we to only handle the test case or handle REG_MULTI_SZ? If I do not have to write code that properly handles REG_MULTI_SZ types then I can change the majority of my logic after the read files. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	hoby, same as I said. that's why I also said that my shortest working code is 720 as it handles multilined properly. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Howard: You just need to import the ets .REG files correctly. It's not supposed to be the all-powerful-and-complete REGEDIT replacement. Lonkero: How do you sleep? You work during the summer and sleep (kind of hibernate) during the winter? _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	jens, something like that. it's actually not scheduled thing. nature decides what is the time of week I'm tired... like now. well, it's been allready over 24 hours, so I can accept that... anyway, kix is an addiction. how can I sleep when I have one? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	bumb and question. is there anyone else than me wanting to see this in udf forum? I mean fully support the functions that regedit has and also be smaller than it is? could write some of the but would need someone to check that it actually works... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Since Regedit.exe already exists on the computer, it seems easier to shell and invoke Regedit than build and maintain code.

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Me, me, me, I'd like it in a UDF. Why??? I'm an administrator who likes to completely protect the wkstas in his domain against dangerous users. Therefore I disabled REGEDIT for normal users. Adding one entry through Kix is easy, but what if it where > 20? Please make it a UDF (please use variables which mean something in the UDF...) By the way where can I find the final KiX Golf script you guys use? Are there competitions for beginners?? _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Patrick: The scoring solutions are within this thread. Be advised, however, that the scipts only import the .REG files provided in the Kixtart Golf challenge. They do not work with arbitraty .REG files since some of the registry value formats are missing. The KiXtart Golf challenges are open to everybody, whether you're a beginner or not. The next one will be in about two weeks (don't have time managing it this weekend and next weekend). Just give it a try, at some point solutions will be posted and those might be improved as well. Meaning, if you can't finish your own script you can borrow inspiration from the other posted scripts. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Jens, I'll try it next time... Wasn't looking for the kixregedit script, but the script which calculates the score... This one perhaps: Topic: New KixGolf.kix (version 3) ??? (Going to bed now... will catch up tomorrow night and try to think of a new golf challenge idea) [ 04 August 2002, 00:31: Message edited by: MightyR1 ] _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	pat, you may as your own person write the script with usable variable names. you you need to do is with notepad replace the $ to something understandable... anyway, patricks post gave some hope of need for this kindof function. and adding all registry types to the final script should not add more than 30 strokes. other thing then is to get it to work with the new stuff like escape chars, when it seems easiest to work with something else than the winning script... hoby's script is a good example. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Of course I'm able to change the script... (Have to look up the way how it was done again ) All I'm saying is that understanding a script from someone else with non-descriptive vars can make it harder to understand. So why not use more descriptive vars and let the KixGolf script count only the vars, no matter what their length is. _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	mmm... they can be translated easily with notepad's replace. the only thing that comes along is that if you really use meaning var names the code actually grows to about 1200. one reason is just that you would need to use many variables instead of current use of $ in 10-15 purposes. that also makes it harder to read if you read the last golf's code, it's pretty much unreadable and still, it works a charm. maybe it just isn't needed for everyone to understand everything. but maybe it just is that someone of the golfers like me need to make that code to udf. anyway, if I do that, I would some support. what are the exceptions and formats needed for full compliance. so that's why I also ask for hoby's reply as I think his code is closest to good. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
