How to use RegQuery for value with \name

[Jim Cook]

I'm having a problem with using %@RegQuery because my value has a name
that begins with a backslash. I have two values in one key named
"Console" and "\EmuClock"

This correctly shows the value Console, but how do I show the \EmuClock value?

echo %@regquery["HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strobe
Data\Kestrel\aks100mb.custom\Console"]

All these return -1:

echo %@regquery["HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strobe
Data\Kestrel\aks100mb.custom\EmuClock"]
echo %@regquery["HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strobe
Data\Kestrel\aks100mb.custom\\EmuClock"]
echo %@regquery["HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strobe
Data\Kestrel\aks100mb.custom\.\EmuClock"]
echo %@regquery["HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strobe
Data\Kestrel\aks100mb.custom\\\EmuClock"]
echo %@regquery["HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strobe
Data\Kestrel\aks100mb.custom\%=\\EmuClock"]
echo %@regquery["HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Strobe
Data\Kestrel\aks100mb.custom\%=\EmuClock"]

Jim,

Can you query the key using the external application REG.EXE? I don't
know if it is a parsing limitation in TCC or Win32.

I was unable to query the value directly using REG, but could filter
the output from REG and get what I was looking for. Thanks for the
pointer.

My question still remains -- is it possible with TCC directly using @REGQUERY?
