Hello,
I am creating a function that will read a string from another application's memory. However, the current function I have only returns a maximum of 15 characters (due to the max number of bytes being 15, apparently?):
Code:
Public Function ReadMemory(ByVal address As String, ByVal retChars As Int32)
Dim loc = ReadProcessMemory(processHandle, address, vBuffer(0), 15, 0)
Dim bits() As Byte
Dim newStr = ""
bits = BitConverter.GetBytes(vBuffer(0))
For x = 0 To 7
If bits(x) >= 65 And bits(x) <= 90 Or bits(x) >= 97 And bits(x) <= 122 Or bits(x) = 32 Then
newStr = newStr & Chr(bits(x))
End If
Next
bits = BitConverter.GetBytes(vBuffer(1))
For x = 0 To 7
If bits(x) >= 65 And bits(x) <= 90 Or bits(x) >= 97 And bits(x) <= 122 Or bits(x) = 32 Then
newStr = newStr & Chr(bits(x))
End If
Next
Return newStr
End Function
This is probably also a pretty "dirty" way of doing this to begin with.
Could someone please explain how I would go about reading a string of, say, 40 characters from memory?
