read file from regedit

[hlyeoh]

Hi all,

QUESTION : how to read a file from regedit, without info where the specific path the file is stored? The file type is REZ_SZ and i need to read the content of the file.

Thank you.
Please provide me some useful link that i can try to check on it if you have. thanks.

Hello hlyeoh,

Same advice I've given a couple of thread ago. Can be slightly more concrete here in two steps involving different type of objects.

[1] Instantiate a wscript.shell WshShell object. Use .regread method to read the value from the registry where the file spec is stored in REG_SZ format.
[2] From the filespec, instantiate a scripting.filesystemobject fso. Use getfile method to get to the file. Or, if the file is a text file, use Opentextfile method to open it directly.

thanx tsuji for the reply.
there is one problem that i face now which is reading parameter.I need to pass parameter, but somehow when i try to pass "=", it will not be able to read it. How should i read it?

here is an example of things that i need to read :

param1 = "-- "
param2 = "-set BSE_COMPNR"
param3 = """" & "=" & """"
param4 = comp_code & " "
param5 = "tdpuro173m000"

the output that i read from the command prompt is
-- -set BSE_COMPNR "=" 100 tdpuro173m000

there is " " appear in the number 100 which i don't want.The output i want is
-- -set BSE_COMPNR =100 tdpuro173m000

if i change to param3 = "=" , it wouldn't appear =

Could you post the actual code?

hlyeoh,

What kind of object are these paramters passed to?

Definitely no need to """" thing. But
param3=chr(61)
probably does not help neither. Also you may try
param3=escape("=")
