# converts Windows Event Logs (EVTX) into pandas DataFrames / CSV files

## pip install evtx2df

### Tested against Windows 10 / Python 3.10 / Anaconda


This script provides a convenient way to convert EVTX data into a structured DataFrame format using Pandas, which can facilitate further data analysis, exploration, and visualization.


### To extract strings from individual files:

```python
# Converts evtx into csv from the command line:
python path_to_the_package\__init__.py "C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-AppReadiness%4Admin.evtx" "C:\Microsoft-Windows-AppReadinessAdmin.csv"

# as well as in a python script, and ...
from evtx2df import dataframe_from_evtx
df = dataframe_from_evtx(
    evtx_file_path=r"C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-AppReadiness%4Admin.evtx"
)


print(df[19:25].to_string())
