is there a better way...

[Christopher Encapera]

to loop over a list and replace an element based on its value than:

x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
y = len(x)
z = 0
while z < y:
    element = x[z]
    if element == 5: x[z] = '678'
    z = z +1
 

Another words is there a way to do this with a "for" statement - some method
that will return the current z (of x[z]) in the loop?
(My goal is to open Windows logon scripts and update the path to the latest
virus DAT's)

Thanks in advance!
