Read a REG_MULTI_SZ from registry ignoring nulls
Bid Request Id: 38240

Description:
I'm having a problem reading a specific entry in the registry. It works on most systems, but sometimes there are two nulls in the entry and the text gets terminated prematurely. For example:
This is what I want to read:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\SystemBiosVersion
I can read it fine using some of the source code you've done for my other projects, but like I said, it stops reading when encountering 2 null values in a row, but that's not the end of the entry.
See this picture on my website:

As you can see, right after the tilde (~), there are two nulls, this is where it's terminating, but as you can see, there's more data there that I want.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
VB 6, NT4/2K/XP
Special Conditions / Other:
Please complete within a week of acceptance

Dear Buyer,
Please find attached a program that reads the registry key you mentioned and prints it in a messagebox to the screen, each double-NULL replaced by a vbCrLf.
I would offer you the source-code to this program. It includes a function for reading RegMultiSZ-Values (as String-Array) and an example for using this function.
As it is already finished, you can get the sources as soon as the money is escrowed.
Kind regards,
Matthias Helletzgruber
