Help with Windows Registry

Hello
I've run into getting the hexadecimal data from the windows registry. I
need to pull the Value Data from a Dword Value but I just get a "0". I'm
trying this:
put queryRegistry("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControSet\Control
\IDConfigDB\Alias\0001\ProfileNumber\")into field tNum
Do I need to convert this Value Data since its Hexadecimal or can the
value be read and placed into a field without conversion ?
Any help with this would be great
MichaelD

Re: Help with Windows Registry

Michael

it is in hex so you have to read it as a hex (if the value is larger than
9, a-f will not make sense
in decimal notation...

so yes, you need to read it, convert it to hex (via baseconvert for
example)and then put it into the field
for editing.

Reverse the line above to write it...

cheers

Take a look at the tip at my site:

http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/revolution.htm?_win001

This has to do with *setting* binary data in the registry, but you only need
to do the reverse in order to retrieve it.

Re: Help with Windows Registry

Hi Ray
By reverse I would use queryRegistry and binaryDecode ?.
