The Update function

The update function is used to create keys and values.

The command syntax for keys is as follows:

fileregedit [-f registry_file] update user path name type [value]

If a key is being created, the type is KEY. No value is specified, but empty square brackets must be included in its place, as in the following examples.
  • fileregedit update "{Local Machine}" "/Software/XyEnterprise" "Contenta API" KEY []
  • fileregedit update "{Local Machine}" "/Software/XyEnterprise/Contenta API" "PerlAPI" KEY []
If a value is being created or updated, the type is:
  • STRING VALUE or STRING
  • DWORD VALUE or DWORD
  • BINARY VALUE or BINARY

For example, |phoebe|VALUE|STRING|/XyEnterprise/Software/Web|Preference|6|abced

The syntax is:

fileregedit update phoebe /XyEnterprise/Software/Web

Preference "string value" abced

Sample output of the above command:

# fileregedit update phoebe /XyEnterprise/Software/Web

Preference "string value" abced

STRING VALUE "Preference" updated "/XyEnterprise/Software/Web"

#
