Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 9:53 am Post subject: Help getting standalone exe trainer to open correct process. |
|
|
Hey,
I have my basic standalone exe trainer written. I have done some debugging and am fairly sure the issue is it attaches to the wrong version of a duplicate process.
The process is always in sequential order in the list.
abc.exe
abc.exe
It is always the one on top. However, autoattach and openprocess both open the bottom version of the process.
I want the program to run as a standalone and I believe it has to attach or open that process.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can accomplish getting the lua script to select the appropriate process or even giving the user a list displaying the PIDs and have them select the PID or type in the correct PID and submit it for the trainer.exe for attachment?

there is currently no processlist, it always picks the newest process when using processname based opening
I do have on suggestion, but it's not an easy one:
in lua execute the "tasklist" program and read the output. Then get the processid and use that to open the process

Using what DB said, you can parse TASKLIST results in CSV format pretty easily in Lua. You can invoke the process using:
Code: | local target = "abc.exe";
local f = io.popen( string.format( "TASKLIST /FI \"IMAGENAME eq %s\" /FO csv", target ) );
assert( f, "Failed to obtain results from TASKLIST.exe!" );
-- Do work here..
f:close(); |
You can then parse each line returned like this:
Code: |
for x in f:lines() do
-- Strip the header line so we don't try to read it as a process..
local input = string.gsub( x, "(.*),\"Mem Usage\"", '' );
if string.len( input ) > 0 then
local parts = input:split( "[^,]+" );
print( #parts );
print( parts[1] ); -- prints the process name
print( parts[2] ); -- prints the process id
end
end
|
Using the string:split function from:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/SplitJoin
Code: |
string.split = function(str, pattern)
pattern = pattern or "[^%s]+"
if pattern:len() == 0 then pattern = "[^%s]+" end
local parts = {__index = table.insert}
setmetatable(parts, parts)
str:gsub(pattern, parts)
setmetatable(parts, nil)
parts.__index = nil
return parts
end

Thanks so much both of you.
I got it working perfectly.
It did take me awhile to figure out why your script copied exactly was not working and it's because your split function is at the bottom.
Simply move the string.split function to the top of the code so it is executed before the other two pieces of code and it works perfectly. Probably not an issue for the vast majority of you out there but it did take me a little time to figure out.
Thank you so much, again.
