batch regex the output of reg query command to a variable

batch-file, dword, regex, registry, windows

Solution

try this:

@echo off &setlocal
for /f "tokens=2*" %%a in ('reg query HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile /v EnableFirewall') do set "var=%%b"
if "%var%"=="0x1" (do this) else do that

Problem

summary I need to be able to find the DWORD value of a registry key and set a variable to it to run an if statement against it. how can i grab just the dword of a reg query so that i can work with it in the rest of my script? reg query ``` reg query HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile /v EnableFirewall ``` req query output ``` EnableFirewall REG_DWORD 0x1 ``` what i need to grab `0x1` pseudo code ``` query firewall reg value regex out DWORD value and set to variable var1 if var1 == 0x1 then do blah else do other blah ```
