Hi,

Is het possible to use variables in the shell command.

I'm trying to load a reg-file with
shell "regedit /s c:\user-pc.reg"

Where user must be the username.

Any help is welcome
 
You simply use the variable for the username like this:

UserName = "John Doe"
shell "regedit /s c:\" & UserName & "-pc.reg"

 
Yes you can use variables. You will nedd to use string concatenation to place them into the string that you want to use. For example, "String" & variable & "String"

However I don't understand what you are trying to do. The regedit command will open the registry and not a reg file. Files ending in .reg can be opened in notepad. Can you calrify what it is you are trying to do?

Thanks and Good Luck!
