How to get REG_MULTI_SZ in WINQUERYREG?

The function winqueryreg supports just strings (REG_SZ), expanded strings (REG_EXPAND_SZ) and 32-bit integer (REG_DWORD), but what should I do if I need to get a multistring value (REG_MULTI_SZ)?
All I've invent is:
[~, str] = dos('reg query "hklm\software\myprog" /v MY_KEY')
found = strfind(str, 'REG_MULTI_SZ')
str = str(found+12:end) % I suppose there is just one multistring value
str = str(str~=' ') % clear from spaces
found = strfind(str, '\0')
res{1} = str(1:found-1) % and I suppose there is just one value found again
res{2} = str(found+2:end)
Apparently, this way isn't the best
