Sorry for the noob question.
But im facing some bugs here, and im confused.

For example is the number 1590188 and hexadecimal number?
So. Can it be represented as 0x1590188?
Why the 0x ?
Im using another program that needs the 0x of the address.
And its not working. So i dont know if the problem is in the program.
Or im not writting it well.

Yes, addresses are all in hex format. They do not include any prefix/suffix because it is more or less a waste of space. CE will interpret multiple formats of address strings though including ones with the 0x prefix.

Thanks.

So how do i convert this 1590188 into an address with prefix?

Is it the same but just adding the prefix?

Because i have another program that needs the prefix.

So, 1590188 would just be 0x1590188 ?

or 0x01590188 ?

The prefix is dependent on the code/language you are using. In your case, yes, just adding the 0x to the front is fine. Extra 0's at the start of the address don't mean anything and are ignored.

So for your example:
0x1590188
0x01590188

Are the same thing.

Thanks Atomos.

Are you familiarized with AutoHotKey?

Can you help me understand why my value is not recognized in AHK memoryread?
