So I guess I consider this more of a Microsoft "Bug" than a problem with
your module, but I thought I would point you in the direction I am
looking.
I found that in additional to RegEdit, Microsoft also has reg.exe . . .
a tool that allows you edit the registry from the command line.
It is standard on WinXP and is in some kind of a Toolkit on most other
versions of Windows.
One of the Reg.exe options, like RegEdit allows you to "dump" or "query
out" a section of the registry much like RegEdit's export function.
Since I am trying to write a command line tool instead of a GUI tools it
seems like the place to start.
Unfortunately, the output format of Reg.exe, while similar to RegEdit is
also different.
It would be nice if you supported both formats.
However, like I say, from my point of view, I consider this a Microsoft
issue - you'd think the two tools would talk the same language.
Go figure.
