Method: WshShell.RegRead
WshShell.
RegRead
(strName)
The
RegRead
method reads and returns a registry key or value named by
strName
. If
strName
ends with a backslash (\), then
RegRead
returns a key. Otherwise it returns a value. The
strName
parameter must begin with one of the following root key names:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
or
HKCU
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
or
HKLM
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
or
HKCR
HKEY_USERS
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
The following VBScript code writes a key/value pair into the registry, reads and displays their content, and finally removes them from the registry.
Code:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite ("HKCU\MyNewKey\", 1 ,"REG_DWORD")
WshShell.RegWrite ("HKCU\MyNewKey\MyValue", "Hello world!")
WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\MyNewKey\MyValue")
WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\MyNewKey\")
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\MyNewKey\MyValue"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\MyNewKey\"
Output:
Hello World!
