Description

Retrieves a string value from a specified data value associated with the current key.

Call ReadString to read a string value from a specified data value associated with the current key. Name is the name of the data value to read.

If there is no Registry entry with the specified name, ReadString returns an empty string. If the Registry entry contains something other than a string, an exception is raised.

Note: ReadString retrieves data stored by either the WriteString or WriteExpandString method.
