Windows 10: A REGISTRY mystery - reg file doesn't import properly

I have imported hundreds of reg files into every windows build since 95, now I run into another W10 mystery.
I have a complete export of the key REPETIER. When I import it some REG_SZ entries do not import.

This is an unmodified export of a sub-key under Repetier.
reg mystery.reg

The items that do not import are in bold:

Can someone explain why???????????
Note: viewing the reg file in Notepad, the extra LF appears as an extra space at the end of the line. I did not add it.

regedit won't import its export

When I export a key with regedit, regedit won't import it properly.

The registry key was generated by a program.

The values of registry names that do not import contain CR CR LF at the end of each line in the value

The value in the program that created the entry looks like this

G1 Z5 ; lower bed

G1 X50 Y260 f5000 ; move to back left

G28 Z0 ; test Z0

That is one value for a script name with CRs & LFs

The reg file contains this:



So the 0d 00 0d 00 0a 00 must be terminating the " and since that makes it invalid the entry is dropped on import.

So how does the program create it in the first place?

How can I successfully export then import this key?

I need to do this so I won't have to recreated the entries and potentially get them wrong on another computer.

These are the entries in the registry





The entries ending with NAME do import as there are no CR or LF in them.

 

Windows 10 regedit cannot import a reg file

I save a reg file in a directory with no spaces. I want to import back into the Windows 10 registry but receive an error message:

Cannot import <filename>.reg: Error accessing the registry.

I am running as Administrator and have full control.

What's wrong?

Are you trying to import the key while logged in with a standard windows account? You would need to log in as a user who is apart of the local admin or run script as admin to import the key.

 

your quotes " " are all over the place... need to be one line...

Replendence has a free version of Registrar Registry Manager which has an import/export [within its secondary panel]; you might have to try with that tool.

 

I am THE admin
That file was a direct export from REGEDIT. Are you saying REGEDIT can't properly export registry keys??
Does MS know this??

 

very combative for someone asking for help.. Just saying..

 

maybe it is just your interpretation, sorry - just saying there is no other admin here, and again I am disappointed in MS, not being able to control their own sw. How do I export keys from the registry with the registry's own sw and not get what I am suppose to, to be able to import back into a registry -- such that I must find a 3rd party solution?
Just absurd, wouldn't you say???

All those LF didn't look right to me either, but it is MS sw..........

 

It looks like something scrambled the code, so it be could read, but notepad does not do that, only wordpad. Can you post the screenshot, what it looks like in the registry? Maybe some special characters are used?

 

here u go - the long lines are the ones messed up



Not sure if u can read that
All these entries are generated by the program

 

I missed it, what program was used to type the REG file contents? I can't remember metapad or notepad, such need to have have their word-wrap turned off, adding unseen characters into its TXT or REG creation. Wordpad? -- I have not used such, I do not know if Wordpad adds unseen characters or re-formats the writings within its TXT or REG creations. I don't believe anyone uses MS Word for such creations.

 

Amended: Repetier Host a 3D printer program created the registry material...RegEdit did the exporting...
I have no answer why RegEdit cannot accurately import its own previous export.
I'm been in listening mode since this post, to learn from those who know far more than I *Smile

 

The original keys were generated by Repetier. I have xfered these keys between my computers in the past without an issue. I don't believe the program changed RE this. The file I uploaded was a reg file that regedit created. Viewing the reg file with notepad showed the LF characters.
Maybe it is something with notepad. I will redo it using ultraedit.

 

OK, I just exported the Repetier key with all the sub-keys. I then deleted one subkey in the registry and imported the reg file without opening it. All the gcode entries except the gcodeScript#name are missing from the subkey that I deleted. The rest of the entries are there.
