For some reason I can't seem to figure out how I can compute an offset from an address returned by the AOBScan.

local myid = getProcessIDFromProcessName("test.exe")
openProcess(myid)
results = AOBScan("00 00 BC 41 00 00 B1 45 00 00 B0 41 0C 01 00 00")
address = stringlist_getString(results,0)

now that I have the address as a string stored in the variable called address how do I convert the variable to hex to calculate offsets? for e.g. addresss+02.

that address is in string form.
You have 2 options. You pass the string as a string to the routine that makes use of it, or convert it to a integer.

if you use the string method:
address = address .. "+02"
and then pass address on to readInteger, writeInteger, etc... (they can handle string input in CE format)

or you can convert it to an integer:
address=tonumber( "0x" .. address)+2
