String, interger and binary stuff question

[TrickyDeath]

Hello everyone,

Again here with my new question.

I do have a value what is "text" string, what i read from memory adress, but i do not understand when i convert it, why i geting only the first 4 letter from the word...

I was reading how does it storeing in memory, but i am not 100% sure, i did understand right.

Anyone can explain how does it work? Or why i get only the first 4 letter only?

Ps.:

Useing Nomadmemory.

BinaryToString($MemRead, 1), 0, 0

The valuse is correct, if i do not convert it at all, but the valuse includeing only numbers. I tried different convert way, but nothing.

If you are reading from a memory address you probably also have to specify the amount of bytes to read?

I wana read commands and those commands can be short how short i want, but i do not wana use 4 letter length strings for command. My problem is this memory storeing thing is new for me, so i am on just about the begning.

I made a GUI with 1 edit and 3 different button on it. Each button storeing the text from Edit in the same value.

I did used Cheat Engine to find the adress for it, and in that program it showeing me the full lengh of the string, but with AutoIT i see only the first 4 letter somehow, and i could not find out why. BTW the GUI is just for test, cause i can try make it work w/o NET connection. Once it will work, i can change the process. Unfortunately skype and viber do not have any controll what i can read with autoIT to read the messages what i am geting or sending.

At least i did not found anything like that.

One sec i put the code here in new post, just let me find it.

The argument functions include only 1 messagebox message to see it work or not.

Do u need the memtest.exe code as well? also made with autoIT.

nvm, i post that as well.

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Memtest", 140, 170)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 120, 21)
$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Number", 10, 40, 120)
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("String", 10, 70, 120)
$btn3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Binary", 10, 100, 120)
$btn4 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Normal", 10, 130, 120)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Local $Text

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $btn
            $Text = Number(GUICtrlRead($Input1))
        Case $btn2
            $Text = String(GUICtrlRead($Input1))
        Case $btn3
            $Text = Binary(GUICtrlRead($Input1))
        Case $btn4
            $Text = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

If have any other question let me know.

you need to specify the length to read, default is a dword (4 bytes).

$MemRead = _MemoryRead("0x" & "0095CD48", $Process, "char[80]")

I would be happy if we have a nice help file for that nomadmemory, but since that is just a home made function... the description not telling you everything. I like AutoIT help file, you can learn so much thing, without comming to forum all the time with any single simple question.

What does "char[80]" mean exactly?

[Geir1983]

like you said, nomad.au3 is not part of the autoit package.. but it does have documentation for each of the functions inside the source code.

char[80] means it will read 80 characters (letters numbers etc), I did not test it but think it should work?

[TrickyDeath]

I will chek it, just have to turn on my notebook, cause i am working on that at work, when i do have too much free time and nothing to do.

Actualy i start codeing on my mobile phone, then the boss will not realy notice what i do.

When the code is done and i go home, i jsut send it to my PC, so i can test it and see it is work or not.

[TrickyDeath]

Ok i did test your example, and work perfect. Thank you for your help. Now i can continue to work on rest of the code to make the whole communication between PC and my phone. :-)
