Hey!

I know how to get the value of a memory record:
Code:
getAddressList().getMemoryRecordByDescription("Value").Value

But how do you do it, if you want to get a string instead of a value?
And where in the Main.lua can I read something about it? I searched for MemoryRecord but I didnt find what I am searching for.

A string is a type of value. If you can't get it, providing more information may help.

If you want to read a string w/o using a memory record, use readString(address).

You may check if the mr point to a readable memory by checking:
Code:
if readBytes(mr.CurrentAddress)~=nil then -- readable address

For Type String or Array of Bytes that with a Length/Size, the Value may still be '??' if the memory range (mr.CurrentAddress to + some size ) cross a memory boundary with a unreadable one.

bye~

I know what went wrong now. I just forgot to rename the entry to 'TextToWrite.' (or with my example 'Value') ._.
Thank you!
