Registry query

Post by rblackmore245 » Fri Jan 12, 2018 10:34 am

I am trying to read a Dword value from the registry I can get the value out but I an unable to convert it into a readable number.

I am using:

put queryRegistry("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Software\ClientID")
hex.JPG
Which outputs in livecode as encoded text how do I convert this back into a integer

Hi,

One trick is to add 0 to your string.

Code: Select all

put queryRegistry("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\.......") into theValue
put format( "%d", theValue + 0 )
