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
['Software\\Fonts', 'Software',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print\\Printers\\HP Deskjet F300 Series',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print\\Printers',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\VIDEO',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\SERVICES\\TSDDD\\DEVICE0',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\SERVICES\\TSDDD',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\SERVICES\\VGASAVE\\DEVICE0',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\SERVICES\\VGASAVE',
'System\\CurrentControlSet\\SERVICES', 'System\\CurrentControlSet', 'System']
