Ok, I'm doing something wrong here. I'm sure this used to work for me.

I can't search (and find) floats with a lot of numbers in them.

Example:
Open CE
Open Minesweeper
Attach to winmine.exe
Value type:Float
Scan type:Exact Value
Value:1
Click "First Scan"
Double Click an address that has value of 1.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (14 decimal places) so it is added to the watch list (or whatever it's called at the bottom)
Double Click the Value in the watch list and copy it into your clipboard. Cancel.
Click "New Scan"
Paste the copied value into the Value field.
Click "First Scan".
No results returned. Shocked


I've tried the "Rounded (default)", "Rounded (extreme)", and "Truncated" and none return a result.

I'm certain this used to work. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Embarassed

Thanks!

well, the float type only has about 7 to 8 significant digits, so try to cut it down to at most 7 digits

so if you had as value 1.04689013957977 scan for 1.04689 (trunc)

the '013957977' part is just an approximation

Ahh...well that does work.

I didn't used to have to do that though. Maybe an older version truncated that for me?

Slight inconvenience having to backspace off the extra digits but I can deal.

Thanks for the work around and the quick response!
