Hallo,
I'd like to check whether the key exists.

REG QUERY HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php >>null
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ECHO not found

This example works, but prints error and I can't hide it.

I tried it using the FIND in following script.

REG QUERY "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" | FIND /i ".php"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ECHO not found

Works for .php but so as .php3, .phps, ... (.php*).

How can I check check whether just a "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php" exists?

Thank you.

Hi,

If you want to hide all the output from your first example do:

reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php 1>nul 2>nul
if errorlevel 1 echo not found

1> redirects stdout
2> redirects stderr which is what the output of reg is in this case.
