Say I want the following to happen:
1. The starting address is 0x10000000, the ending address is 0x20000000.

2. I want to find "AE 45" and "89 12" within those addresses. Moreover, I know that "AE 45" comes before "89 12", and they are not next to each other.

3. If the search words in step 2 do exist, return true.

I suppose I should use firstscan and nextscan, but I can't get it to work.

Thanks in advance.

what is the max amount of bytes that AE 45 and 89 12 can be apart ?

because you could do a groupscan like "BA:1 BS:128 OOO:U 2:0x45a0 2:0x1289" (max distance is 128 bytes in this example) and then check in the results which one starts with ae 45

Thanks for the reply.

1. The maximum distance between the two key words is unknown. Does it affect the search speed if I set the distance too large?

2. How to do a groupscan in Lua? I can't find the function.
