Construct variables?
Hi,

I want to define a few registry paths at the beginning of the script and loop over these paths later on.

!Include "LogicLib.nsh"

Section "Main"

        Var /GLOBAL regPathCount
        Var /GLOBAL regPath_1
        Var /GLOBAL regPath_2

        StrCpy $regPathCount    "2" ; Edit number and add / remove paths accordingly
        StrCpy $regPath_2       "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\Share Enum]"
        StrCpy $regPath_1       "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\ShareEnum]"

        StrCpy $R0 $regPathCount
        ${While} $R0 >= 1
                MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION "$regPath_$R0"
                IntOp $R0 $R0 - 1
        ${EndWhile}
SectionEnd

That doesn't work. Is there a way to construct the necessary variable names inside the loop?

For working with large data sets use nsArray plug-in which will work in loop for you.

NSIS currently supports only GLOBAL variables so your example will not work.

Ok, thanks T.Slappy!

I'll use arrays instead :)
