Good evening Maya

I can help you if you want to write it to a file on execution, then do something with that file. I'm not sure if you want to process the registry data in some other way, but there are fairly straightforward ways of writing registry values in other posts on the forum, such as this one... https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=82862

The below will create a local file at execution time, from the compile-time include of test.reg.

Code: Select all

DataSection 
  RegfileDataStart:
  IncludeBinary "x:\includedata\test.reg"
  RegfileDataEnd:
EndDataSection 

If CreateFile(0, "x:\includedata\regcopy.txt")
  WriteData(0, ?RegfileDataStart, ?RegfileDataEnd - ?RegfileDataStart)
  CloseFile(0)
Else
  MessageRequester("Error creating file", "Unable to create included data")
EndIf

Good morning Maya, I'm glad to have been able to help you a bit — it isn't often that I get the chance, being relatively new to PB myself So, the pleasure is all mine really.
