Registry keys with (forward)slashes can't open

    Hi,

    I have problem with walking through all registry keys because there are keys containing normal slashes like:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\MediaPlayer\Player\Skins\res://wmploc/RT_TEXT/MainAppSkin.wsz
    and all slashes are unconditionaly converted in function FixPath to backslashes and then is path incorrectly splitted.

    Is any solution ?

    Thanks

    M. Vancl,

    Can you add code that explicitly reverts the slashes under those conditions?

    Hi Harlan,

    I'm not sure if I understand you. The code converting slashes to backslashes in paths is in function FixPath (source code in ftp://www.roth.net/pub/ntperl/perms/20020605/source/&lt;font color="#800080">Perms_Source.Zip) </font>In README file is note: "Forward and backslashes are supported (all forward slashes will first be converted to backslashes)". And also my script walks recursively through complete registry tree but keys containing forwardslashes in its name which is not able to open (new returns undef).
