| Hi,
|
| I have exported some registry-keys using Regedit to a number of
| .reg-files. I can open these files using any text editor. Now
| I wanted
| to write a simple Python script to concatenate all these files to one
| output file. (Please note that I'm a newbie).
|
| However, if I do something like:
|
| >>> f=open('c:/documents and settings/myname/desktop/test.reg','r')
| >>> r=f.read()
| >>> print r
It's encoded with utf-16. You need to do something like this:
<code>
import codecs
f = codecs.open ("c:/temp/temp.reg", encoding="utf_16")
# .reg files seems to have an initial BOM so need need to specify endianness
text = f.read ()
f.close ()
print text
</code>
