Code:

print(enumModules()[1].PathToFile)

for the path you can do:

Code:

print(extractFilePath(enumModules()[1].PathToFile))

mygame.exe is a another process, not the running game process.

i want to get any process's patch,it can be "explorer.exe" or "Chrome.exe" or any other process

Code:

getProcesslist(Strings): Fills a Strings inherited object with the processlist of the system. Format: %x-pidname
getProcesslist(): Returns a table with the processlist (pid - name )

You can use these to get the process list, then use

Code:

enumModules

with each processes id to get its individual module list, then do what Dark Byte showed with the first module in the list to get the path.
