Search array of byte

Post by KevinDA »

Good evening, I would like to do an array of byte search:



XX 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 XX



Or there is the XX is different from 00.



How to do ?

If you mean doing a search with wilcards(meaning that the specified bytes can be anything), then this is one of the formats that you can use:

[B]?? 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 ??[/B]

If what you are aiming for is to find aob results that do not have 00 on the XX/??, you might have to script it in Lua.

In the meantime, you could make the signature more unique instead. In other words, you add more bytes/wildcards to the signature to consistently find the correct aob (the one without 00 on the XX/??).

For example.
DE AD BE EF ?? 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 ?? AB CD EF 12 ?? ?? 34 ?? AA

Obviously, that example signature won't work (i would be surprised if it did); you are going to have make the signature more 'unique' yourself.

I think it would be a good idea to post your question at the Cheat Engine forum, specifically the 'Lua Scripting' forum if you haven't posted it already. They can answer your question if you frame it properly.
