AutoHotkey Community

I'm a bit of a freeware junkie, just stumbled across two tiny but sweet applications (the first two), but figured I'd share some others as well. Sorry if some of these have been posted many times before.

Regjump, jump straight to a given registry key:

Other programs I use. Great screenshot tool:

NirSoft icon extractor:

NirSoft program to see all context menus related to each file type (one of a kind app I think):

(NirSoft also has a whole bunch of other good apps that AutoHotkeyers could make good use of.)

SIW System Information for Windows:

Various system utilities:

Identify unknown file types:

Also, for several applications I like to make AutoHotkey scripts which launch the applications. I make the script read the clipboard for relevant information relating to that program, and if the clipboard contains such information I use AutoHotkey to feed it into the program's GUI e.g. for the unknown file identification program, I have an AutoHotkey "launcher" which checks if the clipboard contains a valid path name and it it does it automatically pastes that into the GUI and hits the Enter key. This could also be use to make the program a function like a command line utility, which again could be used to open all unknown files directly in that program.... there's an idea. Err... so what I'm getting at is that I have a question as to how to do this as simply as possible with the program called RegJump.

I want AutoHotkey to check if the clipboard contains a valid registry key name and if it does paste that into RegJump. At first I thought of making a textfile and manually filling in what all regkeys start with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY\..., or HKLM\, HKCU\ etc. Then I thought I might write a regular expression instead, but I've never used regular expressions before. So far this is what I've come up with:
FoundPos := RegExMatch("h(?=.*\\)

Which I hoped translates into: any string that starts with the character H and is followed by at least one backslash. Does that seem like a reasonable solution or is there a far better way to do all of this?

Thx for the links.
Regarding this ...

[majkinetor]

Nope, you are wrong.'

H123\some folder is the valid relative directory name.

A simplified regex would be RegExMatch(clipboard, "i)HK(?:LM|U|C[RC])\\.+")

BoBo, my pleasure. I've always thought I should start my own "This is my website, it contains a database of all the freeware applications I have ever come across." type of website, but there are so many already...


Titan,

Thanks for your help, but I couldn't get it to work at all, did you test it? Here's my code:

[Titan]

Try

[majkinetor]

lol

I call this obfuscation, plus syntax errors of reg keys will pass as reg keys, like, HKEY_LOCAL_MCHINE

Second of all, u shouldn't work directly with clipboard but with the copy of it.

[majkinetor]

Yeah, I jump around like crazy

Nah, you are not Satan.

.... .... or thats what you want us to think

BTW guys, after months of hard work, I devised new RE alghorythm for your nicknames, extremely optimised version

[Sean]

Is there a reason to use regjump.exe? Isn't it enough?

[majkinetor]

No reason at all, the guy just asked.
