.Reg File Support?

Post by altf4 »

I was wondering if there are any plans to support microsoft's files .Reg which are called "Registration Entries"

I have never found an application that support these files in an IDE like manner where text is color-coded, and I would create one myself, but creating an IDE in VB6 isn't that easy. Since I trust the power and functionality of PrimalScript, perhaps these could be implemented as a feature, which I can image would be too difficult to do.

Wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Re ... .REG_files

Here is Microsoft's documentation:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310516

Shown there it states that the syntax is:

Code: Select all

Regedit Version

[Keypath]
"Value"=Type:Data
Perhaps this could allow the user to customize the colors of specific fields.

For example: If I wanted all the datatype values to be purple.

Anyway, just a suggestion to hopefully make PrimalScript even more powerful since it supports many different file types.

I think that's a great idea. For starters, just to get you going with coloring,
1. go to Tools - Options - Languages
2. Select INI files from the list on the left
3. Add REG to the recognized extensions,
which then should read "INI;INF;REG"
4. Since there is no default engine defined for these,
you can add regedit as an engine to execute such files

Press OK (you may have to restart PS) and opening a reg file should
look like this:
