Windows Notepad for AutoIt

[Skitty]

Ever want to use notepad to run or compile autoit scripts?

Well, a while ago I saw a post where Melba23 posted a script that added a menu entry to notepad and it was even able to detect what buttons you clicked and when I saw that I just HAD TO DO THIS.

Whenever you use a tool, the wrapper script for notepad will even save the file that's open for you when you run any tool and if a file is modified by tidy, the script will also reload the script into notepad.

The Script uses NomadMemory.au3 to get the file that's open in notepad, what I'm not so sure about is if the memory address range is different on different systems like vitsa or windows 7, I've only tested this on windows XP x86.

Interesting... What did you do to determine the memory location? I'll try it out for you on Vista (x86). I messed around with cheat engine but couldn't find much.

I basically ran this script a dozen times until I found the address it seemed to always exist in, because the string seems to appear in several locations depending on how you opened the file in notepad.

            $R = DeepScan($Srch,$I)
            If Not @error Then MsgBox(64,"Located","Dec:"&$R&@CR&"Address: "&("0x" & Hex(@extended,8)))
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc

Func DeepScan($Str,$Start)
    Local $Data, $Address
    Local $Byte = "byte[" & BinaryLen(Binary($Str)) * 2 & "]"
    For $x = $Start To $Start + 1000 Step 1
        ToolTip($Byte&" DeepScan>"&$x)
        $Address = ("0x" & Hex($x,8))
        $Data = BinaryToString(StringReplace(_MemoryRead($Address,$Mem_Open,$Byte),"00",""))
        If StringInStr($Data,$Str,2) Then
            ConsoleWrite($x & " > " & $Address & " <> " & $Data &  @CR)
            If StringStripWS($Data,3) == $Str Then
                ToolTip('')
                Return SetError(0,$Address,$x)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    ToolTip('')
    Return SetError(1,"","")
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

If you drag and drop the file into notepad under windows xp (if it's the same on your machine...), you'll notice that the string seems to appear in fewer locations than if you were to open it with the fileopendialog or load it the way the above script does.

But it always seems to appear at 0x0100A900

Well, I finally got on a windows 7 x86 PC to test this and found that there is not absolute memory address that the file string will be located, this is what I've got for now.
