Hi Vincent,
After much poking around and fiddling I mastered the scripting issue I had posted about earlier.
I have a new problem/request... FinalBuilder seems to have a pretty complete set of tools to work with registry entries but I'm undersure of how to achieve something and maybe it's there in FB but maybe not.
I need to be able to open a registry key and iterate through the values within that key and I may not know what they are. Specifically we are setting up some control scripts for our external componet and module libraries. The compiler stores known packages/librarys in a particular registry key. I need to be able to open that key and iterate through all values in that key and search for matchs hopefully using the sub-string matching code.
Is there a registry action that can do this?

Hi Mark
Unfortunately not. At the moment, the best option would be to export the key to a file and search through that. I’ll add a feature request for an iterator action for the next version of FinalBuilder.
