scan for then parse text file?

[danman]

I need to get the version of a product installed that's kept in a text file on our machines. I know I can scan for the file but is there anyway to pull the information from the file?

E.g. the file has a line reading, version=7.0.0. Which I'd need to get into a report based on computer name.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't responsible for the initial install of the product but going forward we'll use a reg key so we can scan for that.

The approach I’ve taken is to write a script that writes RegKeys, and have Lansweeper scan for the RegKey Value.

No, WMI cannot read files.
