Hi,

I'm writing a regedit REG file reader and simple registry editor. I've got a
bit stuck on the best way to insert REG_BINARY data into the registry, in
the .reg file this is represented like this :

"BrowserBands"=hex:11,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,64,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,64,00,00,
\

00,66,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,16,00,00,00,65,00,00,00,01,02,00,00,64,00,00,00,\
  67,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,64,00,00,00

What is the data type (an array of byte ?) that I should use to take this
large hexadecimal number, obviously I need to strip out the , and \ from it.

I am using Delphi 2 and using the windows API function RegSetValueEx which
works in much the same way as Tregistry.

Thanks for any help,
