new_registry

new_registry

The new_registry function is a non-class version of the CRegistry:new method which creates and returns a new CRegistry object.

R = new_registry()

Creates a new CRegistry object without specifying a key name. You must follow this with R:Open to open a named registry key.

R = new_registry( sKeyName )

Creates a new CRegistry object and opens the named key.

R = new_registry( CRegistry_old )

This is a copy constructor. It opens a new CRegistry R initialized to the key used by CRegistry_old.

On failure, nil is returned.

The following script creates a new CRegistry object:

R = new_registry("MyKey")	-- create a registry object R and open the named key.
...	-- other uses of the class go here
R:delete()	-- delete the object.
