Registry Help

[ScottF]

Hi Gintaras,
I am trying to retrieve data from the registry in QM3, can't seem to get the actual value that I can in QM2.

QM2 Code was:
/ Macro182

;; HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GinDi\QM2\Test

str rkey = "Software\GinDi\QM2\Test\"
str name = "ADD1"
str s1

rget s1 "ADD1" rkey
out s1

;;    Output:
;;        1051 FAIRFAX LN
___________________________________________

QM3 Code is:
{
string userRoot = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER";
string subkey = @"Software\GinDi\QM2\Test\";
string keyName = userRoot + "\\" + subkey;
string name = "ADD1";
string data = "ADD1";

Print(ARegistry.GetString(out data, name, keyName));
}}
__________________________________________
*The Key is "Test" which is under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GinDi\QM2\" and String Value = ADD1
*The data is "1051 FAIRFAX LN", but the code is returning, False

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
ScottF

Here returns true and data. My QM3 version is newer, but registry functions didn't change during that time.

.NET has registry functions too:

C# code:

Copy

// script "" //.
using Au; using System;
using Microsoft.Win32;
partial class Script { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] a) => new Script(a); Script(string[] args) { //;;;

string userRoot = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER";
string subkey = @"Software\GinDi\QM2\Test\";
string keyName = userRoot + @"\" + subkey;
string name = "ADD1";

#if tru
if(ARegistry.GetString(out string data, name, keyName)) Print(data); else Print("not found");
#else
string data = Registry.GetValue(keyName, name, null) as string;
Print(data);
#endif



}

void Print(object o) => AOutput.Write(o);
}

When I run this,  I get error converting object to string:

Compilation: 1 errors
<open "<0x100000011>|21|39">Script5.cs(21,39): error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'object' to 'string'

This line, #12, is like gray in color, not sure if helps debug.
if(ARegistry.GetString(out string data, name, keyName)) Print(data); else Print("not found");

[Gintaras]

Sorry, must be
void Print(object o) => AOutput.Write(o?.ToString());

The #if disables the gray code, and is used the colored code. Add letter e to tru and it will use other code.

Perfect, That did the trick.
Thanks Gintaras.
