Hi all!

I'm wondering if there is any way to search the memory with regular expressions?
Like:
s 0 L ffffffff 'Start,*,'End'
were * could be any bytes. It would find : StartANYTHINGEnd

or
s 0 L ffffffff 'Start?End'
where ? is a single arbitrary byte.
Would find: StartXEnd

Maybe a plugin, patch or something?
It sure could be useful for serial-fishing!

I have looked in TFM, and searched the board and internet, but I couldn't find anything. Maybe my searching skills isn't enough.

Wow that is a great idea actually. Dont think Softice supports it but with some imagination you could probably write a plugin to do it. Though regular expressions can be a pain often. There are a lot of prewritten classes for handling them. Then interfacing with memory and not crashing the system would be a tough one too . Havent heard anything to do this though. Generally just search for a peice of the string you are looking for and then see if things match out when you get there.

Ok!

Well it almost would be to easy to be able to search for the good serial if you only knew how it looked like.If it has teh pattern 1234-ABCD-1234 you could search for ????-????-???? where ? is any character. Cause just searching on '-' gives way to many results.

Writing a plugin myself is beyond my knowledge,so I'll encourage the pros to make one.
