Using CEServer, I'm running a script that searches for something and uses a for loop to replace everything. However, it seems that the for loop specifically kills the ceserver.

Code:

for i=0,FoundList.Count-1 do
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == one) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],operator);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len, 0);
end
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == two) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],operator);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len, 0);
end
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == three) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],operator);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len, 0);
end
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == four) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],operator);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len, 0);
end
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == a) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],skin);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len2, 0);
end
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == b) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],skin);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len2, 0);
end
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == c) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],skin);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len2, 0);
end
if(readString(FoundList.Address[i]) == d) then
writeString(FoundList.Address[i],skin);
writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len2, 0);
end
end

I've kinda narrowed the part that makes it crash down to where I write the null terminator within each if statement. Can't seem to figure out why it does this. If anyone has any ideas, any help is much appreciated Smile

It does the same thing without apostrophes around the address, same thing without the plus operator. It works if i remove all the writeByte functions, but then there is no null terminator so what I'm doing doesn't end up working

Code:

writeBytes('FoundList.Address[i]+'..len2, 0);

'FoundList.Address[i]+'

Why is it in quotes?

Try this:

Code:

writeBytes(FoundList.Address[i]..'+'..len2, 0);

Wasn't in quotes originally, was just something I tried. Didn't work either way.
ALso, unfortunately that fix doesn't do the job Sad

The "Address" field of the foundlist is a stringlist IIRC. You can't add an integer to a string.

Code:

function writeStringZeroTerm(address, text, widechar)
local bt
if widechar then
bt = wideStringToByteTable(text)
else
bt = stringToByteTable(text)
end

bt[#bt+1] = 0

writeBytes(address, bt)
end

-- ...

for i=0,FoundList.Count-1 do
local addr = getAddress(FoundList.Address[i])

if addr == one or addr == two or addr == three or addr == 4 then
writeStringZeroTerm(addr, operator)
elseif addr == a or addr == b or addr == c or addr == d then
writeStringZeroTerm(addr, skin)
end
end
