ok so i have a string that i need to scan in a script but then from there i need to get the address of the scanned string so i can then add 83 bytes to the address and get the string address i need (due to it being dynamic), and then i need to print the string from the final address (after the 83 bytes was added to the address gathered from the string search) as the correct length of the string, which is 456 bytes long. I can do it manually, but i have 0 clues as to how to go about doing it via a script automatically. if someone could help me that'd be great, and if you need a better / further explanation, feel free to ask, or if you need any clarification on what i'm asking for / a part of what i'm asking for, feel free to ask. I'll try to respond as fast as possible. Razz

thanks again for helping me if you decide to. (Also, sorry for the long paragraph)

here's the initial search: https :// gyazo . com /c9d291fc10c4980c1e4aefc6a3ec6083

here's how the search is modified: https :// gyazo . com /4818ffad8c97489d1610c891f45f1aa3

so basically i want it to search for a string then go 83 bytes ahead and print that string into the lua engine. I don't usually do value modifications so i don't know how i would go about doing this

edit: forgot to mention, any of the addresses found will work since they contain the exact same string, but in the screenshots i just chose the top one to show as an example because it was closest to my mouse.


(sorry darkbyte for going around the filtering towards posting urls, pls no hate Sad thnx )

Maybe something like this :

Code:
baseAddress = getAddress("cheatengine-i386.exe")

function findString(str)
  local len = string.len(str)
  local chunkSize = 4096
  local chunkStep = chunkSize - len
  print('Found '..str..' at: ')

  for address = baseAddress, (baseAddress + 0x2ffffff), chunkStep do
      local chunk = readBytes(address, chunkSize, true)
       if (not chunk) then
        break
       end
        for c = 0, chunkSize-len do
            checkForString(address, chunk, c, str, len)
        end
  end
end

function checkForString(address, chunk, start, str, len)
  for i = 1, len do
      if (chunk[start+i] ~= string.byte(str, i)) then
         return false
      end
  end
  print(string.format('\t0x%x', address + start))
end

-- use :
findString('cheat')

result : [[

With that script I replaced the process with the process it's on, and the "cheat" string to the wanted string, but when it scans for the string it just says this: "Found LOGIN at: " and nothing else.

Hi,

I may be wrong, but it seems you want to find an address (a1) of a known string (s1), then from that address to obtain another result address (a2) and/or another string(s2) that may be changed per every run (dynamic)?

It may help to clarify by some screenshots of your manual search, or some visual to show the relationship, eg:
Code:

memory -> content
0a0010  -> "KnownString"
0a0010 + 83 -> [address of another string]
[address of another string] -> "SomeDynamicString"(456 bytes long)

Use CE and find your initial string. Then execute this Lua:
Code:
local found = getCurrentMemscan().FoundList
for i = 0, found.Count - 1 do
  local address = tonumber(found.Address[i], 16)
  address = address + 83
  local other = readString(address, 456)
  print(other)
end

Zanzer's script should work , just change
address = address + 83
to
address = address + 0x83 .

no for loop and just use found.Address[0]

or use the memscan class directly and tell it to find only one result

Code:
local myvalue = "blahblah"
local memscan = createMemScan()
memscan.OnlyOneResult = true
memscan.firstScan(
  soExactValue, vtString, rtRounded,
  myvalue, nil, 0x0, 0xffffffffffffffff, "+W*X",
  fsmNotAligned, "1", false, false, false, false)
memscan.waitTillDone()
local address = memscan.Result
if address then
  address = address + 0x83
  local other = readString(address, 456)
  print(other)
else
  print("Not found")
end

Alternative,
Code:

function GetOrFindCode()
  local function checkAndGet(addy)
    addy = readInteger(addy)and GetAddress(addy)
    local code = addy and addy~=0 and readString(addy,456) or 'shit!'
    return code:len()==456 and code or nil
  end
  if not checkAndGet"[_CodePos]" then
    autoAssemble[[
globalalloc(_CodePos,16)
aobscan(aobpos, 2E 52 4F 42 4C 4F 53 45 43 55 52 49 54 59)// .ROBLOSECURITY
_CodePos:
dq aobpos+83
    ]]
  end
  return checkAndGet"[_CodePos]"
end


The function return nil in case no right process attached, or 1st '.ROLOX...' not lead to a 456 length String. If use with a EditBox, can be use like:
Code:

EditBox.Text = GetOrFindCode() or 'oops,shit!'

The address for a memory record should set as:
normal : [_CodePos]
pointer : base= _CodePos, offset1=0
