So it continues. When trying to find all the subkeys of a key, reg query key returns an array of lines which just include the key names without values so they do not match the ITEM_PATTERN
eg
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\node_native is returned from reg.exe query HKCU\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\ but is eliminated in the ITEM_PATTERN match.
Perhaps I just do not understand how to use winreg to enumerate the subkeys of a value
Ok so I am not so bright. Have to call keys function.
In my defense, is not shown in the readme. GREAT CODE it is really helping me in other areas as I am old at programming but new at node.js. I had to find it browsing the code. I am MUCH better off for having done so as I learned a lot (about how to call an external program) but documentation could be improved.
Thanks
when querying for the subkeys of a key in
for (var i = 0, l = lines.length; i < l; i++)
the first line from the reg query contains only "\r" to avoid returning this you apparently "skip" it with the code
but for lines with only "\r", trim removes them and so the line.length is 0 and lineNumber is not incremented and so the first line with something other than spaces or \r is skipped.
lines[0].length -> 1 lines[0].trim().length ->0
Have not done it yet but it would seem that just removing the if (lineNumber != 0) and simply pushing the line would work but am not sure it that is the only reason this was placed here.
In any case I am having other issues but found this along the way and easier to report now so perhaps its the other issue which I have not found yet
