If I read a windows registry file with a line like this:

Files\\LANDesk\\LDClient\\tmcsvc.exe|Name=LANDesk Targeted
Multicast|Edge=FALSE|"
with this code:
f=open('fwrules.reg2.txt')
for s in f:
if s.find('LANDesk') <0:
print s,
LANDesk is not found.
Also this does not work:
for s in f:
try:
i=s.index('L')
print s[i:i+7]
except:
pass
all it prints is "LAND"
how do I find LANDesk in a string like this. is the "\\" messing things up?
How do you know what's in the file? Did you use an editor? It might be
that the file contents are encoded in, say, UTF-16 and the editor is
detecting that and decoding it for you, but Python's open() function is
just returning the contents as a bytestring (Python 2.x).
Try:
import codecs
f = codecs.open('fwrules.reg2.txt', encoding='UTF-16')
for s in f:
if u'LANDesk' in s:
print s,
f.close()
