While I am use this analysis to find SYSname string line and display the whole line, but the result is
What’s the prblem? Thx
if exists file (“C:\home\Test\ABC.reg”) then following texts of firsts ““SYSname”” of lines whose (it contains ““SYSname””) of file(“C:\home\Test\ABC.reg”) else “N/A”
The reg file content:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Test\AB
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Test\AB\TEMP
“SYSname”=“ComputerName”

q: if exists file (“C:\test.txt”) then following texts of firsts “SYSname%22=” of lines whose (it contains “SYSname”) of file(“C:\test.txt”) else “N/A”
A: “ComputerName”

In version 8.0 and up you can get around the “if exists” annoyance by doing this:
q: following text of firsts “SYSname%22=” of lines whose (it contains “SYSname”) of file(“C:\test.txt”) | “N/A”
A: “ComputerName”

I’m keen on regular expressions, and similar to Noah’s solution:
if exists file (“C:\temp\ABC.reg”) then if (exists matches (regex “^%22SYSname%22=(.)$") of (lines of file “C:\temp\ABC.reg” as string)) then (parenthesized part 1 of (matches (regex "^%22SYSname%22=(.)$”) of (lines of file “C:\temp\ABC.reg” as string))) else (“No Entry”) else “No File”

Hi, Thanks for your info,
I tested, but still failed. I am using Bigfix 7.2.5.22.
For Noah’s script reported
For stevenam’s reported No Entry.

I do know there are some strange differences between 7.2.x and 8.1.x, as I have numerous pieces of code that no longer work. However, I no longer have access to 7.2.
This is the file I used, having borrowed it from your post above. Please note, I am running Cygwin on a Windows laptop, as I am by nature and training a Unix SA.
$ cat /cygdrive/c/temp/ABC.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Test\AB
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Test\AB\TEMP
“SYSname”=“ComputerName”
$
So, when I run my code in the Windows QnA GUI, I get the following:
“ComputerName”
Evaluates to singular object of type string

zouminyi,
Please paste the result (or partial result) of “lines of file ABC.reg” so we can see why it is not matching.
Also does SYSName appear more than once in the file?
