Can somebody give me an example of using an expression watch? (such as EAX="myname"? and where is watched information reported? the log window? or... ?
I'd love to start using this feature but I'm not sure how to start
Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks

Wayne: View/Watches, right click/Add watch (SPACE), expression: string[EAX]

you can use WatchMan plugin by gigapede, it helps on defining watches.
also read OllyDbg help, section Evaluation of expressions.

Yeah setting watches is easy enough, but now that it's set, now what? where am i looking for the results -- ive never used watches before, is it like a breakpoint or does it log to the log window, or... ?
Thanks!

Wayne: ahm ... there is in the menu View, a subitem Watches that opens
a window where you set your watches and also *view* the results

the watches window is getting updated on stepping, or by right click/Actualize
