Hi

Does anyone know of a way of searching the registry, the @regread() function seems very limted.

Thanks

Hi Dmonckton,

Your question is very generic... Could you provide more info as to what you're looking for? (i.e. keyword search, search only certain hives or keys, etc.)

Hi again

Well what I'm trying to do is collect in a list the values I find in a key and then save this to a file on a server. When using @regread() you have to know what you are looking for, I don't.

For example I'm trying to find the values stored at:

LOCAL,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Custom Dictionaries

I will be doing this on 350 machines and have no idea what is stored in this Key on each machine.

Thanks

David..

I think you need to look up LIST REGKEYS and LIST REGVALS in the help file.

Thanks Jules

I've now got to turn that info into a subroutine!

Cheers
