How Can Make Backup From Registery To Text File?

[Soheyl]

Hi;
I need make a backup from registery "HKCU, "Software\MyProduct\List" with all subdirectory (keys). But i don't know.

thanks.

Example:

key_name    = Registry.GetKeyNames(2, "Software\\MyProduct\\List");
TextFile.WriteFromString(_DesktopFolder .. "\\Backup.txt", key_name, false);

Try this

result = Registry.GetKeyNames(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\MyProduct\\List");
TextFile.WriteFromString("".._DesktopFolder.."\\Backup.txt", result[1], false);

That code gets the key names from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyProduct\List and saves the first key name to a text file.

Dear Daniel TM;
thanks;

[Daniel TM]

No problemo.

Dear Daniel TM;
thanks, but it is not work!

i tray it but this can only write on text file a subfolder !
example:

I want make a backup from this path with all subfolders and contains:

HKEY Current User\Software\MyProduct

Subfolders is:

1
1
3
4

your code just make backup from 1 subfolder without contains...

tnx.

try something like this:

tkeynames = Registry.GetKeyNames(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\MyProduct\\List\\");
if tkeynames then
	for n , key in tkeynames do
		TextFile.WriteFromString("".._DesktopFolder.."\\Backup.txt", key, true); --append
	end
end

as another option: at a command prompt type reg.exe export /?
this allows you to export to a file the entrie tree based on your
registry source start key

you could write the commands to batch file and run it using
File.Run(_SystemFolder.."\\reg.exe", commands, "", true) --wait till done

another option is using the registry actions to create a table-s of the
registry structure-key paths you wish to return the information to.

with a bit of work you can add functionality to the table-s to return
specfic data etc for each key etc.,append each line of a table to a text file perhaps.

hth a little

[Eagle]

you would need to extend the above table example to include similar
to cycle any subkeys etc for each main key as required
(above table example only returns the keyname- no full path stuff)

btw:

TextFile.WriteFromString(_DesktopFolder.."\\Backup .txt", key, true); --append

Thanks Eagle; thanks...

But i also want all cantains write to a text file;
example:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyProduct]
"MyFolder"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\User\\Application Data\\MyApplication\\"
"Servers"="*.update.microsoft.com download.windowsupdate.com"

I want write to a text file this path with that:

Backup.txt
MyFolder=C:\\Documents and Settings\\User\\Application Data\\MyApplication\\
Servers=*.update.microsoft.com download.windowsupdate.com

again big thanks for your help...

[Soheyl]

I found it...
I now can make backup and write to text file...
thanks,

I now have a new problem with Type Key, I can write any type key to text file but can't write key with type "REG_NONE" !
AMS have Registry.GetType, can i set a Type for Value ?

I need Registry.SetType for write this key's to text file...

how can? tnx

[Eagle]

Have a try at using the: tregvlnms = registry.getvaluenames(fullpath.."\\"..key) action

to cycle each key path in your main table
for n, value in tregvlnms do
textfile.write....-append to your existing .txt

you'll need to do a bit more to write to the text file
all that you want in the format that you want.

[Eagle]

maybe ..try the the reg type stuff as you mentioned..sounds like you
just about got it

[Soheyl]

Dear Eagle; AMS don't have Registry.SetType !
please if may show this code.

[Eagle]

no code..from memory you have to write the registry value in the
same format as the reg.gettype format..using string manipulation

have a look here:

may help you with format to write

[Soheyl]

I think AMS can't write normally a key with type REG_NONE to text file...

I try it... thanks...

[Eagle]

glad to be of some assistance at least
