Local Registry ?

This wildcard retrieves the value from a specified Windows registry entry and is exclusively applicable to Windows clients.

  • {local.registry.?}

  • For the following input (?) --> Registry hive

  • The output is going to be --> Registry key value

Example:

The following registry key in Windows need to be rewritten to a forward slash notation:

  • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\AppData

  • currentuser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/AppData

  • Input: {local.registry.currentuser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/AppData}

  • Output: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming

Registry keys should start like this:

  • classesroot for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

  • currentuser for HKEY_CURRENT_USER

  • localmachine for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

  • users for HKEY_USERS

  • currentconfig for HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

Registry paths should use / (forward slashes) instead of the usual \ (back slash)! Using \ will result in a fail with the error "1>0"
