Add input to line

[bobbie]

I have and I want to take the registry from the input and add it to the line on the Software\\registry but not sure how to do the replace?
Must be something simple. lol

registry = Input.GetText("Input1");
all_names = Registry.GetKeyNames (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\registry");

Thanks for the help.

registry = Input.GetText("Input1");
all_names = Registry.GetKeyNames(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\"..registry.."");

Thank you . I'm trying to add the output to a Paragraph but I get this error?

Error
---------------------------
Page1 -> Button1 -> On Click, Line 3: Argument 2 must be of type string.
---------------------------
OK

registry = Input.GetText("Input1");
all_names = Registry.GetKeyNames(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\"..registry.."");
Paragraph.SetText("Paragraph1", all_names);

Registry.GetKeyNames returns a table, not a string.

[mwreyf1]

Try this

registry = Input.GetText("Input1");

is_there = Registry.DoesKeyExist (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\"..registry.."");

if is_there == true then 
       all_names = Registry.GetKeyNames (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\"..registry.."");   
    	-- Initialize sInputContents to ""
	   sParagraphContents = "";
	   -- Concat table and add line numbers
   if all_names ~= nil then
     	for LineNumber, LineContents in all_names do
	    	if LineContents ~= "\r\n" then
		    	sParagraphContents = sParagraphContents .. LineNumber .. ":  " .. LineContents .. "\r\n";
	    	else
		    	sParagraphContents = sParagraphContents .. LineNumber .. ": " .. "\r\n";
		   end
	    end
	
    	-- Change the table into a string to load into the input object
    	--sParagraphContents = Table.Concat(tFileContents, "\r\n", 1, TABLE_ALL);

    	-- Set the input text
    	Paragraph.SetText("Paragraph", sParagraphContents);
    else
        Dialog.Message("Notice", "There are no subkeys for that key! Please choose a different key.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
    end
else
        Dialog.Message("Notice", "That key does not exist! Check your spelling or choose a different key.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

Thank you for the help. I will play with it more. and maybe get back for more questions.

Try this instead. I cleaned the code up a little and changed a few concats.

registry = Input.GetText("Input1");

is_there = Registry.DoesKeyExist (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\"..registry);

if is_there == true then 
   all_names = Registry.GetKeyNames (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\"..registry);   
   sParagraphContents = "";
   -- Concat table and add line numbers
     if all_names ~= nil then
     	for LineNumber, LineContents in all_names do
	    	 if LineContents ~= "\r\n" then
		    	sParagraphContents = sParagraphContents .. LineNumber .. ":  " .. LineContents .. "\r\n";
	    	 else
		    	sParagraphContents = sParagraphContents .. LineNumber .. ": " .. "\r\n";
		     end
	    end
     	Paragraph.SetText("Paragraph", sParagraphContents);
     else
        Dialog.Message("Notice", "There are no subkeys for that key! Please choose a different key.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
     end
else
        Dialog.Message("Notice", "That key does not exist! Check your spelling or choose a different key.", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

I'm new at this 1 year running
This worked for me.

registry = Input.GetText("Input1");
all_names = "Registry.GetKeyNames (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, *Software\\\\"..registry.."*);";
all_names = String.Replace(all_names, "*", "''", false);
Paragraph.SetText("Paragraph1", all_names);

If you need to add to the paragraph just ask if you need help and i will do it..

Whatever name you add to the input it just prints that out to the Paragraph1.
Even if is not in the registry.

[jfxwave]

I'm sorry i thought thats what you wanted.

So the whole line of the registry will be in the input box and you want to change it in-side the input box and click the button to add it to the paragraph?

If so how is the reg string getting in the input box?

If not i don't understand ( sorry ) please explan more.

[bobbie]

What I'm trying to do is enter a name of a program and seach the registry for it and show the keys for it.
Then I can make a backup of the key.

I think i know what your talking about. Maybe this will help.
