Generate a list - sasitha96 - Sep-19-2021 How to generate a list of all the ‘.exe’ files available in ‘C:\Windows\system32’ directory and store them in a log file created in the C drive with the name of ‘entries_Win10.log’. RE: Generate a list - nilamo - Sep-19-2021 What have you tried? This is a place for helping people to learn Python, not for people to solve your problems for you. If you're not going to write code, we have nothing to help with. RE: Generate a list - snippsat - Sep-19-2021 You should try yourself as this is a relative easy task,we do not like a task posted without any effort,then is more job description. That's said here a start(saving to log file you should try yourself), these days pathlib is a more modern way to do it. import pathlib win_dir = r'C:\Windows\System32' for file in pathlib.Path(win_dir).glob('*.exe'): if file.is_file(): print(file) RE: Generate a list - dgrunwal - Sep-20-2021 sasitha96, The code provided works, of course you can simply capture to a file or code the file capture in Python. Or you could use DOS C:\Windows\System32>dir *.exe >> E:\\mafiles.txt Or run the Python code and output to a file: C:\python3.8.5>python check.py >> EXEFILES.TXT Best, Dave RE: Generate a list - sasitha96 - Sep-20-2021 (Sep-19-2021, 06:47 PM)nilamo Wrote: What have you tried? sorry for that RE: Generate a list - sasitha96 - Sep-20-2021 (Sep-19-2021, 06:48 PM)snippsat Wrote: You should try yourself as this is a relative easy task,we do not like a task posted without any effort,then is more job description. thanks |
