Bat-file illustrating the work with the registry, UNC paths and strings

If there is no compiler at hand, then in windows surrounded batch file is quite a handy tool. The following example illustrates working with the registry from a batch file, how to implement a batch file from a network resource, as well as some simple string operations using the example of copying and launching a crack for the STALKER game, the path to which is pulled out of the registry (listing under the program).



It would be interesting to look at a more elegant solution to this problem.



@cls

@echo off



echo ********************************************************

echo *****************STALKER**no-cd******************

echo ********************************************************



rem REG QUERY,

rem ,

rem , . 1 .



for /f "skip=4 tokens=3*" %%i in ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\GSC Game World\STALKER-SHOC" /v InstallPath') do (



rem . ( )

rem



rem ! %~dp0

rem xcopy

rem , %%i:~0,-1%%

rem , xcopy



IF "%%j" == "" (

xcopy "%~dp0crack.exe" "%%i:~0,-1%%"

) ELSE (

xcopy "%~dp0crack.exe" "%%i %%j:~0,-1%%"

)



rem

cd /d "%%i %%j" || exit 1

rem

crack.exe

pause

exit

)



PS Utility reg.exe in win2k is not by default, in winxp - there is :)
