Digital Workshop

As an Opus newbie, I'm trying to get to grips with some of the differences in script syntax between Opus and that of vbs, jscript, InstallScript etc.

An area that could be enhanced in the online help is to state what is returned when whatever you are hunting for is not present at all. For example (modifying the example given using Opus):

var MyProgVer = ReadRegistryKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\MyProgCo\\MyProg", "Version")

If this key / value is not present, what will myProgVer be set to? Similarly with GetINIFileData? (Yes, I could set up some scenarios and test these... sometimes life gets a tad too short. )

Thanks in advance, Linnet

Hi Linnet

In either case, MyProgVer would be empty (hold no value).

Thanks Chris - you're absolutely right. In other scripting tools you may get "", null or "Not found" returned from a reg search. My underlying point was that it could be a helpful enhancement - as probably most of us are dealing with the chaos of the outside world as well as the ordered calm of the Opus arena - for DW to include equivalent examples in the help pages alongside the orthodox returned key/value/etc.
