Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I had to modify a service dependency, which is a multistring registry type. did a simple: Code: if not instr(readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BITS","dependonservice"),"wohoo") $=writevalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BITS","dependonservice",readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BITS","dependonservice")+"\|wohoo","REG_MULTI_SZ") endif after applying this to "few" computers, I was suprised to find that the resulting string was: RpcSs EventSystem\|wohoo instead of: RpcSs EventSystem wohoo to note, no, I didn't use wohoo and no I didn't modify BITS. First I thought my syntax was wrong but then the manual even has an example: Code: WriteValue("EZReg\Test", "A MultiString variable", "Line 1\|Line 2\|Line 3 with a \|\| in it\|", "REG_MULTI_SZ") If @ERROR = 0 ? "Value written to the registry" Endif so, this a bug or what??? _________________________ ! download KiXnet
