#190523 - 2008-11-06 03:53 PM Len of a Variable Causing Fatal Exception
pepper pepper Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-04-21 Posts: 21	Hello, I have a script that loops through a list of machine names and checks a registry key. It works fine for 99% of the machines, but on a few, I get a "fatal exception occurred" when it hits the "If Len" line below, and the script quits. Code: $SROOTVAR = ReadValue($REMOTEMACHINE + "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion","SystemRoot") If Len($SROOTVAR) > 2 If it can't see the key or it's otherwise empty, shouldn't it just return blank or 0? What about trying to find the length of $SROOTVAR could cause Kix to crash? Thanks!

And, if I put that bit of code in its own kix, it runs fine. :? I tried using the Sanity() script to catch the fatal exception error, but it still errors out and doesn't catch anything as far as I can see. Is there any way I can see what this "fatal exception" actually is?

I'm not sure why it worked sometimes and other times it didn't, but I have added some code to stop it from trying to get certain information from a machine if it's not Windows. Thanks again for your help $\:\)$
