Okay, so what I am trying to do, is search for an unchanging value. I've noticed other codes to be assembled similarly to each other so I am going to assume the code I would like to find is going to be the same way.

What I am trying to find:

A code with the following structure: ???CC???

I know the code has 2 C's in the middle of the code, so all I trying to do is search for a known value (but unknown code for it) with 2 C's in the 4 and 5 places. I tried to use the "Last Digits" search function but am not sure how exactly to input a blind search as I am not sure what the last 3 values are in the code. Is there a way to blind search with an inputted value into the "Last Digits" box?

Thanks all!

do you mean you are trying to find a value with 2Cīs in the middle and its known address ?

if ???CC??? is part of the code, whats the code?

Get some more bytes, else you will end up with lots of results (if you're using Auto Assembler, you will end with hundreds of results) more bytes that you're sure they do not change.

Okay so you know the value but want to find the address? (By code you mean address? Please use more clear terminology.)

I suspect you have to do some scripting to filter the result list for only addresses that have CC in the middle. However you can do it manually if there aren't too many results. Limit the search to memory range 0xCC000 to 0xFFFCCFFF although it won't exclude much. But I have doubts about your assumption that the address will have CC in the middle for certain.

I know the value of the code I am trying to find (ex. 1000) but what I am trying to find is simply the code for it, because I know of no way of searching for codes with "???CC??" as the code, using sort of a partial search that only pulls codes with CC in the middle. Is there a way to search for a known value with CC in the code?
