Regedit: Find and export keys from command prompt

I'm wondering is there any option via command line to search for a string and export all found keys in Windows registry?

export key (with all sub-keys), from CMD (or RUN) i.e.:

regedit /e c:\output.reg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\YourLocation"

p.s. you should run this in CMD with ADMIN PRIVILEGES. for that, right click on START>Run CMD (as Admin)

Ex:: If you want to check whether "HKLM\software\etc" key exists.

reg.exe query "HKLM\Software\etc" will return all the subkeys and values in command prompt if found or an error if not found.

ALso, you can directly do 

reg.exe export "HKLM\software\etc" "C:\etc.reg"

This will export the registry key and subkeys if found otherwise error if not found.
