Wanted to make a byte-search that uses arrays, which was harder.
I'm a bad coder, so the result was messy, probably dysfunctional code.
Help!

You can return an array, you just need to allocate memory for it and not make it a local variable (because those are destroyed when the function ends)

I wrote a DLL to do this (not fully the way you are doing it) but to scan for a byte pattern (with masks) and such which you can find here:

Maybe it will help push you in the right direction for what you need. As appal said aswell, your return needs to be copied to a non-local variable since anything local in the function is destroyed when the function is done. So your return param should be a pointer to a variable to hold the return information.

Ah, right.
Thanks.

I won't make it a pointer to use it as a param... I'll just return the array... which seems a bit weird, but whatever.
