Non Delimited string parsing (registry entries)

Recommended Posts

I am writing up a program to allow users to update/add to registry entries.

the registry is for ABC_Auto_File and has different options not just open... I have it up and working but am curious of a better way to parse the info in the registry string.

examples of the string in question are:

"c:\my folder\myapp.exe" -c "c:\my folder2\myconfigfile" "%1"

c:\folder\myapp -c c:\folder2\myconfigfile %1

c:\folder\myapp %1

 

the -C is there 99.99% of the time but sometimes users have it working without it. but i will be add it in when updating the registry. like wipe and rewrite. myapp is consistent but may include the .exe.

current i am removing all the " and %1 the look for the -c anything prior is a string value i want and anything to the right is a sting value i want.

i am currently using the copy/pos commands to get that info but am ALWAYS curious if someone has better option for parsing.
