I have a registry entry that contains a directory:
<Property Id="TOMCATHOME">
<RegistrySearch Id="TomcatHome" Type="raw" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\...\Tomcat" Name="TomcatHome"/>
</Property>
Then I have a JScript custom action that has to parse an XML file inside
this directory:
var filepath = "[TOMCATHOME]/conf/serverConfig.xml";
xmlDoc.load(filepath);
But the xmlDoc.load doesn't find the file, because the registry entry
contains backslashes. Hard-coding the path with all forward slashes works.
Hard-coding the path with all double backslashes works.
Given that I have no control over the directory entry, it would seem my only
option is to do a search and replace on the resolved value of [TOMCATHOME].
But how can I get that resolved value?
var th = "[TOMCATHOME]";
var v = th.valueOf(); // 'v' still contains "[TOMCATHOME]", even
though
alert(v); // displays the actual directory path. As does
alert(th); // for that matter.
