Loop through values or registry key.. _winreg Python
I prefer to avoid the error instead of diving right into it ...
Use _winreg.QueryInfoKey to get the number of values:
import _winreg
key = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, r'PATH\TO\KEY', 0, _winreg.KEY_READ)
for i in xrange(0, _winreg.QueryInfoKey(key)[1]):
print _winreg.EnumValue(key, i)
To get the number of Keys, same method, different index (second half of original question):
for i in xrange(0, _winreg.QueryInfoKey(key)[0]):
print _winreg.EnumKey(key, i)
Note: use import
instead of from ... import
to make it explicit where functions and variables are coming from. Makes it easier to follow code later in life.
for python 3
import winreg
hKey = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "Local Settings\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Shell\\MuiCache")
try:
count = 0
while 1:
name, value, type = winreg.EnumValue(hKey, count)
print (name),
count = count + 1
except WindowsError as err:
print(err)
pass
Shouldn't EnumValue be of help here
# list all values for a key
try:
count = 0
while 1:
name, value, type = _winreg.EnumValue(t, count)
print repr(name),
count = count + 1
except WindowsError:
pass
