Save registry to file

[ldarrambide]

Hi again,

i want to save to a file a program registry key, and did not find a way to do it directly from QM
I must use this to achieve it:

run "C:\windows\regedit.exe" F"/e ''{Lieu}\{_s}.reg'' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyProgramKeys" "" "" 16|0x10400;

and i get a file named 03.08.2013 à 08.50.34.907.reg (_s is a date and time variable)

How to change the code to do the same thing inside the function without regedit.exe use?

Thanks

There are no API or QM functions to export/import registry keys in REG file format.
RegSaveKeyEx uses binary format. Does not work if QM process is not admin, etc.

Attached QM functions to export/import in XML file format.

FUNCTIONS:
RegExportXml
RegImportXml

OK, will test but I never used xml functions, i'm totally new to it.

I do want to use a reg file because I use that file to restore the program registry keys when needed to.

Will the xml functions you gave me able to restore keys?

Yes, RegImportXml restores.

Yes, works beautifully, only found I *must* delete the previous key totally before restoring,
using rset function. Thanks
