Append Registry Value

I need to append some data to a registry key…

I’m trying to read the value, store it in a parameter then do a regset parameter + new data…

This is what I have but it’s not working… Am I close?

parameter “origkey” = “{(value “First” of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Test” of registry as string)}”

regset "

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test

" “First”= “{parameter “origkey”}” “New Information to be appended;”

Thanks

Hey jcs,

I think there are some extra quotes in there on the regset piece. You can copy/paste below if you’d like:

parameter “origkey” = “{(value “First” of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Test” of registry as string)}”

regset "

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test

" “First”="{parameter “origkey”} New Information to be Appended"

Thanks
