Hmm... Improving your code is always fun :D but quick fixes to make it
replace search results that contain something more than 'old' here
don't
seem to work.
So I made it command-line, with arguments Hive, old, new.
If I ran the script as registry.py HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE something
"something else"
and I had made dummy values to the registry like "there is something
here" it
won't update to "there is something else here".
I tried this, can Tim (or someone else) possibly help?
if type == _winreg.REG_SZ:
Character = 0
Correct = 0
FoundStart = FoundEnd = 0
Found = False
for y in range(len(data)):
if Character < len(old):
if old[Character] is data[y]:
Character = Character + 1
Correct = Correct + 1
if Correct is len(old):
Found = True
Replace = ""
Character = 0
for y in range(len(data)):
if old[0] is data[y]:
FoundStart = int(y)
FoundEnd = FoundStart + oldLength
for y in range(FoundStart):
Replace = Replace + data[y]
for y in range(len(new)):
Replace = Replace + new[y]
for y in range(FoundEnd, len(data)):
Replace = Replace + data[y]
if Found:
_winreg.SetValueEx (key.key, name, 0, type, data.replace
(old, Replace))
Thanks in advance.
