Output of REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\1234567890\123\WinPE\BoundOperatingSystem\HKEY_USERS" /f S-1-5*-1000 /d

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\1234567890\123\WinPE\BoundOperatingSystem\HKEY_USERS
    S-1-5-21-974480208-2472847273-1695335269-1000    REG_SZ    S-1-5-21-974480208-2472847273-1695335269-1000

End of search: 2 match(es) found.

Batch file code:

Code: Select all

For /F "Skip=2 Tokens=3" %%A in ('REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\1234567890\123\WinPE\BoundOperatingSystem\HKEY_USERS" /f S-1-5*-1000 /d') Do (
Set pn=%%A)

Result of the batch file:

Code: Select all

G:\>(Set pn=S-1-5-21-974480208-2472847273-1695335269-1000 )

G:\>(Set pn=S-1-5-21-974480208-2472847273-1695335269-1000_Classes )

G:\>(Set pn=search: )

What I need is the value without the "_classes". As you can see, it sets it right the first time, but then changes the value two more times. Any way to just have it do the one?

You can pipe the REG QUERY output to FINDSTR and use a regular expression to filter the results:

Code: Select all

for /f "tokens=3" %%A in ('REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\1234567890\123\WinPE\BoundOperatingSystem\HKEY_USERS" /f S-1-5*-1000 /d^|findstr /r /c:" S-1-5[^ ]*-1000 "') do set pn=%%A

FINDSTR is primitive with its regular expression support, but you can still get quite specific.
