Need a little help with my lua. A while back I made a script that would let me right click on an address in my result list and filter to an ending byte(s) I specified.

Code:
local foundList = getMainForm().Foundlist3

-- Set up item removal for click simulation
local menuItemRemove
for i=0, foundList.PopupMenu.Items.Count-1 do
  if foundList.PopupMenu.Items[i].Name == "Removeselectedaddresses1" then
    menuItemRemove = foundList.PopupMenu.Items[i]
    break
  end
end

-- Create menu item
local menuItem = createMenuItem(foundList.PopupMenu)
menuItem.Caption = "Remove Non-Matching Byte(s) From Result Set"

-- When menu item is clicked, run this function
menuItem.OnClick = function()
local mybytes = inputQuery("Posty's Byte Matcher", "Enter Byte(s) to match on then click OK", "")
  -- Store "Found" results total for for-loop below
  local foundList = getMainForm().Foundlist3

  local found = foundList.Items.Count
  for i = 0, found-1 do

    -- Store current and previous values
    local item = getMainForm().Foundlist3.Items[i]

  end

  -- Simulate a click on "Remove selected addresses", which will remove
  -- addresses selected from the above for-loop.
  menuItemRemove.DoClick()

end

-- Create new right-click menu item in results list
foundList.PopupMenu.Items.insert(menuItemRemove.MenuIndex+1, menuItem)


My HDD crashed a while back and I lost the working script. I know the working solution had something to do with using 'caption'. So, basically - as per the screen shot - if I enter 60 (for example), it'll remove all other addresses that don't have those last bytes (so only addresses that end in 60 will remain). I could enter as few or as many bytes as I want.
I can't seem to recreate it.

This makes it so much easier to refind an address, since (in my experience) the ending byte(s) will be the same for the target addy.
So, I can weed out a lot of bad results quickly. As the script is now, if I initiate the dialog (even if I hit cancel), it will remove ONLY the address I selected. Not the goal. lol

The fast scan option "last digits" seems to do what you're describing.
