I'm looking to use the functionality of Edit->Patch program->Assemble in an IDC script. Is this possible?

(I would have loved to have posted this to DataRescue's webboard, but alas, I am not a registered owner)

in idagui.cfg set

DISPLAY_PATCH_SUBMENU = YES // Display the Edit,Patch submenu

Tom

yes, i have that already. i meant i want to be able to do something in my idc script like:

Assemble(address, user_input'ed_asm);

but, of course, there is no such idc function

Maybe this can be used

// Change value of a program byte
// ea - linear address
// value - new value of the byte


void PatchByte (long ea,long value); // change a byte

Tom

nope, because you can only use ida's patch functions on unexplored code

besides, i need to interpret asm code (e.g. 'nop'), whereas ida's patch functions expect hex (e.g. '0x90')
