Read the memory as bytes then convert them to a string.

well managed to figure it out but the prob is im telling him how many bytes to read (how can i know how much i need to read instead?)

IntPtr NickName = FindAddress(Base + nickPointer, nickOffset);

string nick = ReadAscii(NickName, 15);
nick = nick.Substring(0, nick.IndexOf("\0"));

public string ReadAscii(IntPtr pAddress, int pSize)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[pSize * 2];
try
{
ReadProcessMemory(GameProcessHandle, pAddress, buffer, pSize * 2, 0);
return System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer);
}
catch { return ""; }
}

Determining the length is something you will need to look into. If the string is static, then you will know the length already. If it is dynamic, you will need to debug the application to see if there is a buffer limit that is used, or read until you find a null char '0'.
