 Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2019 1:40 pm Post subject: Find table entry by value |
 |
|
Is there a way to find cheat table entries by their value? I was hoping ctrl-F would pop up a "Find" dialogue, but no such luck.
More specifically, I have a ton of entries in my cheat table that update from a struct via script, so it includes a name (text) entry that would be useful to search on.
Trying another approach, I went back to the structure dissector and thought I was in luck when ctrl-F did indeed pop up a "Find" dialogue, but I'm not sure what it does, because it doesn't search within the "Value" field, and doesn't provide any option for doing so. |

I made a function in LUA to do this, but I really wanted to bind it to a hotkey and have it pop-up a small window to enter my search-text and then click "Find Next". I tried working off of some CE LUA examples of simple forms, but they're too different from what I'm trying to do, and rather cryptic.
Find-Next function below. Each execution searches forward from the currently selected record, if any:
| Code: | local function selectMemoryRecordByValue(str)
local al = getAddressList()
local cmr = al.SelectedRecord
local midstart = false
if cmr == nil then
start = 0
else
midstart = true
start = cmr.Index+1
end
--print("Total: ", al.Count-1)
local i = start
while i < al.Count do
--print("i=", i, " ", tostring(midstart))
if string.match(string.lower(al.MemoryRecord[i].Value), string.lower(str)) == string.lower(str) then
al.setSelectedRecord(al.MemoryRecord[i])
break
end
if i == al.Count-1 and midstart then
--print("end of list!")
midstart = false
i = 0
--print("i=", i, " ", tostring(midstart))
else
i = i+1
end
end
end
local fstr = 'strange'
selectMemoryRecordByValue(fstr) |

I've added some code to add it to the contextmenu and added it as a shortcut under Ctrl+F
You can add this to your autorun folder in CE as a .lua file and it'll be there
| Code: |
local function selectMemoryRecordByValue(str)
local al = getAddressList()
local cmr = al.SelectedRecord
local midstart = false
if cmr == nil then
start = 0
else
midstart = true
start = cmr.Index+1
end
--print("Total: ", al.Count-1)
local i = start
while i < al.Count do
--print("i=", i, " ", tostring(midstart))
if string.match(string.lower(al.MemoryRecord[i].Value), string.lower(str)) == string.lower(str) then
al.setSelectedRecord(al.MemoryRecord[i])
break
end
if i == al.Count-1 and midstart then
--print("end of list!")
midstart = false
i = 0
--print("i=", i, " ", tostring(midstart))
else
i = i+1
end
end
end
local laststr=''
local mi=createMenuItem(AddressList.PopupMenu)
mi.Caption='Find Value'
mi.Shortcut='Ctrl+F'
mi.OnClick=function(s)
local str=inputQuery('Search Value','Enter the value to search', laststr)
if str then
selectMemoryRecordByValue(str)
laststr=str
end
end
AddressList.PopupMenu.Items.insert(0,mi)
|
You can probably also add a second menuitem with 'Search Next' and F3 as hotkey, and then do the same but just skip the inputquery

| Very cool =) Rather than using a second menuitem, is there a way to keep the popup window open so that you can keep clicking and running the function? This becomes more intuitive if we can change the button text from "OK" to "Find Next". |

Spent many many hours in there before I posted. Unfortunately I ended up with more questions than answers, and a very simple form that I didn't know how to instantiate via script. I was following along with the trainer form tutorial on the wiki, but a single dissimilar example will only get me so far...
I'm sure it's me, not CE. I felt the same when tackling Java GUIs a long time back-- the only diff is Java is supremely documented, so I was able to find enough examples to get by. |

f=createForm()
edit=createEdit(f)
ok=createButton(f)
ok.Caption='Ok';
cancel=createButton(f)
cancel.Caption='Cancel'
--add some anchors here and there to define the actual layout (or use top,left positioning)
f.autosize=true
when I have time later i'll write a proper script

Hi, really sorry for kinda necroposting, but your explanation and example helped me, someone who never wrote scripts, to apply it to my version of table and successfully search through table.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. |
