A script broke today because regtool reported a key's value with extra double quotes around it.
I also observed that whether or not a path was reported with a trailing "\" varied from one machine to the other. Both were using regtool ver 1.8. "stout" is Windows XP, "percy" is Windows 2000. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/x/cygnus/cisra $ regtool -q get "\\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Office\\10.0\\Word\\InstallRoot\ \Path" C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ regtool -q get "\\HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Office\\8.0\\Word\\InstallRoot\\ Path" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office" Visual inspection of the above key in regedit on percy (W2K) showed that its value had no double-quotes in the registry. Visual inspection on stout (WXP) also showed no double-quotes around the path (though it did have the trailing backslash, just as regtool reported). I can change my script to pipe the output from regtool through sed 's/^"//;s/"$//', but that seems like a kludge to me. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
