I can give you a few recommendations if you do decide to do it yourself.
Use a parser generator of some sort. If you took computer science classes
in school, you probably used Lex and Yacc. Something similar to that will
make it *much* easier for you, I think, rather than writing a parser
entirely by hand. I happen to have used PCCTS, which you can look up on the
Web, but there are many around, most coming from the academic world. I've
used that for a number of different parsing projects, so I had a head start
in getting it to work and the grammar for a REG file is pretty simple.
If you're writing your own parser, it's *well* worthwhile to use a
*standard* REG file format. There are lots and lots of things that you
could do a little better than the old REGEDIT4 format, but there are
numerous advantages to using a standard, well-known format (not the leastof
which is that you can export a section of the registry in this format from
Remote Registry Editor...

Hello,
I'm looking (without success so far) for a tool on CE that can read a
".reg file" and update the windows registry accordingly.
Thanks!
