Split/insert comma to string?

[mads]

Hi

I'm trying to export two REG_Binary value from the users profile to a .reg file (This script should run as an logoff script)

But right now I'm not able to get the format correct, because the string I get from my script does not contain the commas (,) for every two digit.

The string is: 540065007300740020007300690067000000
But it has to be: 54,00,65,00,73,00,74,00,20,00,73,00,69,00,67,00,00,00,

So how do I insert these commas to the string?

Here is my script (I only have made it for one value so fare):

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal
set rkey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Default Outlook Profile\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\00000001
set rvalue="Reply-Forward Signature"
set regexe=%SystemRoot%\System32\Reg.exe
for /f "Tokens=4" %%a in ('%regexe% QUERY "%rkey%" /v %rvalue%') do (
set rdata=%%a
)

set regfile=%userprofile%\mytst.reg

echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>%regfile%
echo.>>%regfile%
echo [%rkey%]>>%regfile%
echo %rvalue%^=hex:%rdata%>>%regfile%
echo.>>%regfile%

endlocal

Hope someone can help me, I'm really stuck right now

Thanks

Hmm, why don't you use REG EXPORT ?

How ever. Have a look at this example:

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
set "string=540065007300740020007300690067000000"

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /a n=0
:_Loop
set "hex=!string:~%n%,2!"
set "newString=%newString%,%hex%"
set /a n+=2
if defined hex goto :_Loop
endlocal &set "newstring=%newString:~1,-1%"

echo %newString%

pause

Hi aGerman

Thanks, I will take a look and see if I can get it to work.

I'm not using REG EXPORT, because it can only tak a whole key and not a single value, unless you know a trick?

Thanks again.

No there is no trick.
But you can use REG ADD with your origin string.

Ok, the thing is that the string is not the same for every user, because they have different signatures and I need to export it not add it.

But I think I got your code to work THANK YOU so much, this help me a lot and.
