NumGet
Returns the binary number stored at the specified address+offset.
Number := NumGet(VarOrAddress , Offset := 0, Type := "UPtr")
Parameters
- VarOrAddress
-
A memory address or variable. If VarOrAddress is a variable such as
MyVar, the address of the variable's string buffer is used. This is usually equivalent to passing&MyVar, but omitting the "&" performs better and ensures that the target address + offset is valid.Do not pass a variable reference if the variable contains the target address; in that case, pass an expression such as
MyVar+0. - Offset
An offset - in bytes - which is added to VarOrAddress to determine the target address.
- Type
-
One of the following strings (defaults to UPtr if omitted):
UInt, Int, Int64, Short, UShort, Char, UChar, Double, Float, Ptr or UPtrUnlike DllCall, these must be enclosed in quotes when used as literal strings.
For details see DllCall Types.
Return Value
If the target address is invalid, an empty string is returned. However, some invalid addresses cannot be detected as such and may cause unpredictable behaviour.
Otherwise, the number at the specified address+offset is returned.
General Remarks
If only two parameters are present, the second parameter can be either Offset or Type. For example, NumGet(var, "int") is valid.
