 Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 12:21 am Post subject: Exclude String Search Results Containing Certain Substrings |
 |
|
I wish to write a LUA script to perform a string search on the opened process in Cheat Engine (in my case, BlueStacks).
However, I would like to exclude search results containing certain substrings. I've listed these strings to be excluded in a strings.txt file, each separated by a new line.
For instance, if I search ownsComponent and there are 3 results:
ownsComponent(redShirt)
ownsComponent(blueShirt)
ownsComponent(greenShirt)
Assuming my strings.txt file contains the lines redShirt and greenShirt, the only search result should be ownsComponent(blueShirt).
I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks very much!

Do you need to know how to do a string scan? Or how to go through a list of results and then filter out the ones you like
Because you can just scan for ownsComponent and then readString every found address and check if it matches a line in string.txt and if not, add it to your own list

What you've described would be perfect for what I'm trying to achieve (i.e. for every found address, add only the lines not in strings.txt to my own list).

| Code: | local blacklist = createStringList()
blacklist.loadFromFile([[C:\Users\Lemchast\Documents\blacklist.txt]])
local ms = createMemScan()
local fl = createFoundList(ms)
ms.firstScan(soExactValue, vtString, 0, 'ownsComponent(', '', 0, 0x7fffffffffffffff, '*X*C*W',
fsmNotAligned, '1', false, false, false, true)
ms.waitTillDone()
fl.initialize()
local results = {}
for i = 0, fl.Count - 1 do
local s = readString(fl.Address[i],100)
local bad = false
for i = 0, blacklist.Count-1 do
if string.find(s, blacklist[i], 15, true) then
bad = true
break
end
end
if not bad then
results[#results+1] = fl.Address[i]
end
end
fl.deinitialize()
fl.destroy()
ms.destroy()
blacklist.destroy()
-- do whatever with results
-- e.g. add memory records:
for i,v in ipairs(results) do
local mr = AddressList.createMemoryRecord()
mr.Address = v
mr.Type = vtString
mr.String.Size = 100
mr.Description = 'Result '..i
end

Look at celua.txt for documentation and these forums for more examples.
