I'm trying to use this code

Code:

function convertToTable(convert)
local str = string.sub(convert, string.find(convert, ": ")+2, string.len(convert))
local t = {}

for i = 1, #str do
t[i] = str:sub(i, i)
end
return t
end

to convert a string into a table and then write that value to a byte address with this:

Code:

data = convertToTable(file:read())
writeBytes('[[BaseA]+10]+71E', data)

However, this just changes the address value to something different from the original number rather than writing it to the address.

Names of what is being edited along with the value like this:
Eye Size: 165

After trying some other things I got it to work with this:

Code:

data = file:read()
data2 = string.sub(data, string.find(data, ": ")+2, string.len(data))
writeBytes('[[BaseA]+10]+72d', tonumber(data2))

You probably wanted writeInteger("address", value)
