Custom Inventory rules to find any device with 'Java' in a specific Reg key
I'm looking to see if there is a simple way to find a word in a specific registry key. For instance, I'm looking to find devices that have the word 'java' anywhere under the following subkey: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Normally I would use a custom inventory to find a specific reg entry, but as this is more searching for reg entries, I don't think thats possible. I don't think custom inventory uses wildcards for things like this, and I was wondering if there is any recommendations for best practices for this. Thanks!

fwiw in case others have a similar issue, my plan is to run a script to query the reg key and, if any results are found, output results to a text file. then do a custom inventory to detect (and read) that text file.
