I don't have my External HD with my at a friends house. So I was killing time with CE - but forgot something simple...

I tried googling it - but seem to be googling it wrong?

Question:
What is the "shortcut" text you can put in the address part so that CE will show the ImageBase of what it is attached to?

I apologize if this answer is right in front of me or easy to find...
But what the heck..

Thanks in advance!

You can use $process

Think Dark Byte would be best to answer that as there are a handful of shortcuts that can be done now if I recall, but I don't keep up with them or have them written down to remember.

$ is a prefix for processing anything that follows it as Lua. So for example, but not advised as this will just crash CE, you can do: $print('hi')

So with that in mind, 'process' is a global defined in CE's Lua namespace, thus why $process works. Another example of doing Lua to use the processes main module would be: $enumModules()[1].Address

I had a list of common ones I used, but for the life of me I cannot find where I put it....

I knew it can reference LUA..

I just thought I would of asked - simply because I dont know what to search for to find this "list".

Thanks for your reply nonetheless!
