REG_MULTI_SZ Type

[Michael Burns]

I've just encountered this type in the Windows 2000 System
Registry. My normal routines for reading registry strings,
which are REG_SZ type, don't work. An example of where you'll
see this in the Windows 2000 System Registry is in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ras\Tapi Devices\Unimodem

I'm just starting to slog through the Microsoft web site. Anyone
already know how to deal with this Registry Type?

I don't know about Win2000, but in Win9x, REG_MULTI_SZ are
strings with multiple data in them. The individual strings
are separated by CHR$(0). The whole data string is terminated
by a double CHR$(0).

I've never used these types of values, so I can't give you any
help on this, at this time. I posted this reply so you could
maybe come up with your own method, now that you know their
formats.
