find any item in the list

[evilcode1]

hello all ...

im coding a program to get the internet browsers names and dir's from the windows if he found the process ...
this is my code :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

import os import time   def q():     home = os.environ.get("HOMEDRIVE")     lol =home +"/"     mycurrent = os.getcwd()     change = os.chdir(lol)     mycurrent = os.getcwd()              d = os.popen("""wmic process get name | findstr /v "Name 'System Idle Process' System""").read().lower()           lists = ["opera.exe" , "chrome.exe" , "iexplore.exe" , "firefox.exe" , "microsoftedgecp.exe"]     for q in lists:                   if any(item in q for item in d) :                         qassam = os.popen("dir /s /b {}".format(lists[1])).read().strip()             print qassam             dir1 = os.path.dirname(qassam)             print dir1                 #CreateShortCut_to_Desktop(qassam , dir1)             print time.time()                                         else:             print "nothing found"             break q()

the d variable run this command (wmic process get name | findstr /v "Name 'System Idle Process' System) on the system to get all the process ... i need to modify the code search in this process if he found any item from list name lists[] then run this lines :
qassam = os.popen("dir /s /b {}".format(lists[1])).read().strip()
print qassam
dir1 = os.path.dirname(qassam)
print dir1
if he did not found any browser just print found nothing

You have to clean up what you get from d = os.popen.
d will be a big sting with mixed in \n \r and empty stings.

You should use subprocess,and not os.popen() which is deprecated.

Deprecated since version 2.6: All of the os.popen*() functions are obsolete. Use the subprocess module.

If doing it subprocess and can use check_output to get output.
Ideally would like to remove shell=True,but command did like to be spilt out to a list.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

import subprocess   pro = subprocess.check_output("""wmic process get name | findstr /v "Name 'System Idle Process' System""", shell=True) pro_string = pro.decode('utf-8')   lst = [] for item in pro_string.split('\r'):     lst.append(item.strip()) process_list = filter(None, lst) process_list = list(process_list) #print(process_list)

Test output,see now that have clean up list with processes.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

>>> process_list[:6] ['Registry',  'smss.exe',  'csrss.exe',  'wininit.exe',  'csrss.exe',  'winlogon.exe']   >>> pro_find = ['chrome.exe', 'smss.exe'] >>> any(p in process_list for p in pro_find) True

Alternative use psutil is good for this kind of stuff.

great its working but now how i cant now which of pro_find = ["opera.exe" , "chrome.exe" , "iexplore.exe" , "firefox.exe" , "microsoftedgecp.exe"]
exist and pass it name to
qassam = os.popen("dir /s /b {}".format("pass the process name founded from the list ")).read().strip()

exist

Can compare lists,set() is best as there can be several process with same name.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

>>> process_list[:6] ['Registry',  'smss.exe',  'csrss.exe',  'wininit.exe',  'csrss.exe',  'winlogon.exe'] >>> pro_find =  ['csrss.exe', 'smss.exe', "firefox.exe"] >>> p = set(pro_find) & set(process_list) >>> p {'csrss.exe', 'smss.exe'}

So firefox.exe is not running.

exist and pass it name to

I don't understand what you try to do here,it just process names a dir will not work without a absolute path.
Should you be using os.popen()

i will explain in details ....
lets say i run chrome.exe and the code found that im running chrome .. how i can print which of ["opera.exe" , "chrome.exe" , "iexplore.exe" , "firefox.exe" , "microsoftedgecp.exe"] found !! i mean i need to print the name of process from the list that the code found it running not a position


i hope u understand me

Doesn't may example not do what you explain?
Let take you list and run on my system now.

1 2 3 4

>>> pro_find = ["opera.exe" , "chrome.exe" , "iexplore.exe" , "firefox.exe" , "microsoftedgecp.exe"] >>> p = set(pro_find) & set(process_list) >>> p {'chrome.exe'}

So it find that i have Chrome running,and none of the other is running.
If i start FireFox.

1 2 3

>>> p = set(pro_find) & set(process_list) >>> p {'firefox.exe', 'chrome.exe'}

What's not running.

1 2 3

>>> p = set(pro_find) - set(process_list) >>> p {'opera.exe', 'microsoftedgecp.exe', 'iexplore.exe'}
