Hi experts!
How would you go about getting this text that pertains the pointer and compare it with something?
The goal here is reading the text and compare it with a selection of strings to determine which is the correct and act on the one that matches.
Thanks in advance.

Add the pointer to the table. Then make the script to compare the values with Lua. I'm on my phone so apologies for any mistakes.

Code:

local al = getAddressList()
local value = al.getMemoryRecordbyDescription('entry description')

if value ~= nil then
  if value.value == 'string to check against' then
    - - do whatever
  end
end

Thanks, that did the trick, would never get there by my own.

Code:
local FlyingHandlingAddr = getAddress'[HandlingDataExtra]+0'
print(getRTTIClassName(readPointer(FlyingHandlingAddr)))


@LeFIXER: Thanks for the suggestion. Smile

Any chance that could be included in the wiki page?

Searched up and down and i don't think it's in there.

There is also celua.txt. The function getRTTIClassName is mentioned on line 176.
