Last day I was looking into a game which horrifically was big on code.
I had to find which addresses are accessed and modified by a specified range of code which this took me over 4 hours to manage !

So I thought it's good idea to add a feature like following
FindWhichAddressesAreAccessedTillReturn
FindWhichAddressesAreModifiedTillReturn
FindWhichAddressesAreAccessedInRangeOf(game.exe+1000, game.exe+2000)
FindWhichAddressesAreModifiedInRangeOf(game.exe+1000, game.exe+2000)

You could write a lua script that logs all addresses accessed by a range of code location. I think there was a thread about this sometime ago.

(game.exe+1000, game.exe+2000) is a huge code range btw, you could just as easily run a trace, i think CE has that feature.

Yes it's huge, that's why I asked for this; and trace isn't going to do exactly what I want however better than going though instructions step by step.

So your idea about lua is best suitable for what I need.
Anyway I couldn't find the thread in CE forums.

Instead of using lua to single step automatically for you it might be easier and faster to save the results of a trace to a textfile and then parse those results with a program or lua.
If you choose the option to dereference addresses each entry will have as second line :"HexAddress = Value"

Yes, seems this is best manual solution. I'll write some code in C#
