So I'm trying to run a AOBScan with Lua With just the following code

Code:
Result = AOBScan("00,00,00,00,00,00,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,90,01,00,00,90,01,00,00,90,01,00,00,90,01,00,00,90,01")
print(Result)


this has outputted addresses

0D8F49B0
0D8F65B0

now I've used the same string of bytes in the menu and get the results as followed (respectively)

11915666E
11915166E

I've taken a screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/e054ttb.jpg

If I'm doing something incorrect or if I could do something better to get the results desired please let me know.

Thanks so much.

That's because the variable "Result" is userdata, not a string. To print it out you have to get the results from that userdata:
Code:
local res = AOBScan("00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 90 01 00 00 90 01 00 00 90 01 00 00 90 01 00 00 90 01 00 00 90 01")
if res == nil then return end
for i=0, res.Count-1, 1 do
  print(res[i])
end
res.destroy()

See main.lua (inside the main CE directory) for more information.

Yeah that managed to do it. I tried something more simple and trying just a print(Result[1]) and I was getting errors so I was getting confused.

Thanks so much
