Hi,
I am new to python, how can we edit a .vmx file offline or just simply a file
containing the data in the below format.
My file sample.vmx contains data
pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge7.functions = "8"
vmci0.present = "TRUE"
hpet0.present = "TRUE"
nvram = "testvmdk.nvram"
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"
powerType.powerOff = "soft"
powerType.powerOn = "hard"
I need to update those values and the updated file should contains the data
pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge7.functions = "8"
vmci0.present = "TRUE"
hpet0.present = "TRUE"
nvram = "testing.nvram"
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"
powerType.poweroff='hard"
powerType.poweron="sof't"
Since the file is tiny, start by reading it all into memory, into a
list. Then replace last two line's 16th character with a lowercase "O"
And replace the last line's string following the equals sign with the
string "\"sof't\"
There are also some spacing differences, but they're harder to describe,
and I suspect they were accidental.
