 Posted: Fri May 10, 2019 8:16 pm Post subject: How do I copy text in memory viewer? |
 |
|
I've been trying for several days to copy text in the Memory Viewer as actual text instead of numbers, and all the topics before don't seem to work - one used the attached lua code, but that just returns a "getn" value of nil as an error. I can't seem to work it out.

show a screenshot of your selection
Does your selection go through unallocated memory?

hold shift and rightclick and then choose "Copy as text to clipboard" and it should copy to clipboard then
make sure your ce version isn't too old though

Did you try as DB said?. Hold shift and right click and copy to clipboard.
Then open your notepad, paste there.
If you follow DB said and still get errors then it's better if you show or tell what kind of errors you got.

| I did as DB said, holding shift and right clicking, and as I said I still got the same error as I had originally, "Error:...les\Cheat Engine 6.8.3\autorun\copytoclipboardastext.lua:9: attempt to call a nil value (field 'getn')"

| Code: | hexView=getMemoryViewForm().HexadecimalView
m=hexView.PopupMenu
mi=createMenuItem(m)
mi.Caption="Copy as text to clipboard"
mi.Shortcut="Ctrl+Alt+C"
mi.OnClick=function(sender)
if hexView.HasSelection then
local bytes=readBytes(hexView.SelectionStart, hexView.SelectionStop-hexView.SelectionStart+1,true)
local s=byteTableToString(bytes)
writeToClipboard(s)
end
end
m.items.insert(5,mi) |
1. Delete your copytoclipboardastext.lua from cheat engine autorun folder (make a copy first)
2. Copy and paste the code above and save as a lua file. i.e : blablabla.lua
3. Put blablabla.lua to folder autorun cheat engine
4. Start your CE, open process, open memory view, select memory you want to copy
5. Click Tool menu and click 'Copy as text to clipboard'
6. Open notepad and paste there

| Checking back - This only copies up to where two periods (..) appear in the text I'm trying to copy. I'd prefer to mass copy large paragraphs, because I really don't want to copy over by hand.

Those are zeroed bytes (Null), they're Null terminated strings. It's just the way strings are stored and read on computers in most cases.

Since table.getn has changed to #table on Lua 5.3, then try using this script below, save as a Lua file and put on CE autorun folder.
| Code: | hexView=getMemoryViewForm().HexadecimalView
m=hexView.PopupMenu
mi=createMenuItem(m)
mi.Caption="Copy as text to clipboard"
mi.Shortcut="Ctrl+Alt+C"
mi.OnClick=function(sender)
if hexView.HasSelection then
local bytes=readBytes(hexView.SelectionStart, hexView.SelectionStop-hexView.SelectionStart+1,true)
for i=1,#bytes do
if (bytes[i] < 31) then
bytes[i] = 46
elseif (bytes[i] >= 128) then
bytes[i] = 32
end
end
local s=byteTableToString(bytes)
writeToClipboard(s)
end
end
m.items.insert(5,mi) |
