Reading a cookie and writing to the registry
Hi Guys,
I am trying to figure out how to:
1) Locate the Window's cookie directory.
2) Find a specific cookie inside it.
3) Read it.
4) write it into the computer's registry.
Searched all over. Couldn't find documents. Please please help! :)
Thanks,
Dave

As for finding the cookie, you can use FindFirst, FindNext etc

Push $R0
 FindFirst $R0 $R1 "$COOKIES\*.*"
 Loop:
  IfErrors Done
   StrCpy $R2 $R1 "" -15
   StrCmp $R2 "@website[1].txt" 0 NextCookie

    FileOpen $R2 "$COOKIES\$R1" "r"
    CookieLoop:
     ClearErrors
     FileRead $R2 $R3
      IfErrors CookieDone

      ## Find cookie id
      Push $R3
       Call TrimNewLines
      Pop $R3
      StrCmp $R3 "mycookieID" 0 CookieLoop

       ## Get value
       FileRead $R2 $R3
        Push $R3
         Call TrimNewLines
        Pop $R3

        WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\myapp" "Cookie" "$R3"

       CookieDone:
       FileClose $R2
       Goto Done

  NextCookie:
  ClearErrors
  FindNext $R0 $R1
  Goto Loop
 Done:
 FindClose $R0
