Hi,
I am a novice in Python, having attended a course few weeks ago and I'm
working on my assignment now, and I encounter this issue when I was
trying to print the entire Windows Registry (WR) sub-keys directories
(trying that first with the below codes with adaptations from on-line
research) and its value (later on).
Kindly advise if any, as it has been taking me few days. What I need is
a display on the std screen the entire directory of sub-keys (inserted
into a list) in a WR key say, HKEY_CURRENT_FIG, and then I will write
the contents into a text or CSV file.
Thanks advance!
Here are my codes,
-----------------
import winreg
def traverse(root, key, list):
hKey = winreg.OpenKey(root, key)
try:
i = 0
while True:
strFullSubKey = ""
try:
strSubKey = winreg.EnumKey(hKey, i)
if (key != ""):
strFullSubKey = key + "\\" + strSubKey
else:
strFullSubKey = strSubKey
except WindowsError:
hKey.Close()
return
traverse(root, strFullSubKey, list)
list.append(strFullSubKey)
i += 1
except WindowsError:
hKey.Close()
global list
list = list()
traverse (winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG,"",list)
print (list)
-----------------
results on screen, which is not very correct, seeing that the 2nd item
("Software") on the list should not be printed/inside in the first
place, as it is not as such in the actual directory structure of
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
My box has "Software" and "Software\Fonts" within HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG.
But, to give you a slightly different answer, you could try putting
print() calls in at various points so you can understand the flow of the
program if you're not sure it's doing the right thing.
