reg-query: Search for keys and values matching a specific pattern.
$ reg query ${key_name} /f "${query_pattern}"
try on your machine
The command reg query ${key_name} /f "${query_pattern}" is used to search for a specific value or pattern within a Windows Registry key. Let's break it down:
reg query: This is the command to query the Windows Registry.${key_name}: This variable should be replaced with the name or path of the Registry key you want to search within. For example, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft./f: This is an optional parameter that specifies the search pattern to use."${query_pattern}": This variable should be replaced with the specific value or pattern you want to search for within the Registry key. It can be a string, partial string, or even a regular expression pattern.
For example, let's say you want to search for a value containing the word "version" within the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft. The command would be:
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft /f "version"
This will search for any value within that key that includes the word "version" and provide you with the results.
