 Posted: Wed May 25, 2022 3:05 pm Post subject: How to use an asm var in AA $lua string replace? (solved!) |
 |
|
In AA script, how do I edit this lua line to call the ASM variable named HP that I set, and have it go in place of the "NewWord" text? I want to replace the found string with what's typed into the hp variable in my addresslist.
replaceString("OldWord","NewWord",true)
Below is the whole code I'm using. It all works but I just don't know how to use an ASM variable within that LUA line...
| Code: | [ENABLE]
alloc(hp,8)
registersymbol(hp)
{$lua}
function replaceString(string_in,string_out,ignore_length)
if (not ignore_length) then
if (not(string_in and string_out and #string_in >= #string_out)) then
return print("Not recommended to override shorter string with a longer string");
end
end
local bytes_in = {};
local bytes_out = {};
for i=1,(#string_in >= #string_out and #string_in or #string_out) do
if (i <= #string_in) then
table.insert(bytes_in,string.format("%x", tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_in,i,i)))));
end
if (i <= #string_out) then
table.insert(bytes_out,tonumber(string.byte(string.sub(string_out,i,i))));
end
end
local object = AOBScan(table.concat(bytes_in," "));
if object then
for entry = 0, object.Count -1 do
writeBytes(object.getString(entry), unpack(bytes_out));
end
object.destroy();
print("Replaced some ...")
return true
end
print("Finished ")
return false
end
function Butt(sender)
replaceString("OLDword","NEWword",true)
end
hkey=createHotkey("Butt",VK_Z)
[DISABLE]
{$lua}
hkey.destroy("Butt",VK_Z)

| What do you mean use an ASM variable? You mention HP variable in the addresslist. The addresslist doesn't contain variables, but records that contain values of a specific data type, or script. |

So like if I set a var named hp in AA script I can use it by typing [hp] but when the line I need to insert [hp] into is Lua how to I insert it?
This attempt for example did not work...
replaceString("RandomNameLOL",{$asm}[hp]{$lua},true)
How do I use [hp] in that lua line to change "RandomNameLOL" to the string in the [hp] var?
(Sorry if its confusing but I struggle with English and learning sometimes due to a learning disability) |

Well, if you registered the symbol you can just read/write the value of the symbol directly:
| Code: |
writeString('symbol_of_address', 'text_to_write', true/false) -- true = widechar, false = ansichar
|
This is assuming in the AA script in your table, hp has a registered symbol with the name hp.
Edit: Fixing a mistake

As of right now it's not working. It takes the hp as text and literally replaces with the letters hp instead of the value of the symbol. I think I need different markings on the 'hp' than on the 'RandomNameLOL' don't I? The RandomNameLOL is text to replace, and the hp is a symbol I gave a value in my addresslist after making an address with the address: hp
The hp is also allocated and registered as seen in the full version of the code I post earlier.
Trying some things in the meantime and if I get it working I'll reply again but so far I need more help on it. And are you sure it can be writeString instead of replaceString?
EDIT: I guess maybe I'm asking the wrong way? I started a different thread with a different approach maybe it will work easier so I guess unless somebody knows easy solution to this thread, just disregard this one for now idk +shrug+ |

Something like this?
| Code: | ...
function Butt(sender)
local newword = readString('hp', 8)
if newword then
replaceString("OLDword", newword, true)
end
end
... |
