I've conducted a pointerscan on a certain address (which is the location of a string), and now I'd like to filter out values that are no longer point to that string. However, there are multiple instances of the string (11). How can I rescan with a string as the value to find?

I have a couple ideas, but I'd like your input on which I should use:

1. Convert the first 4 (or 8 if I use a double) bytes to an integer and search for that value, as it's probably fairly unique. However, this does leave the possibility of "fragmented" strings that have just been partially overwritten and therefore deallocated.

2. Use lua and have CE pass all the values to a function. I would prefer to go with this method, but I couldn't find any docs on how it works. Could anybody inform me as to how to use this? I am experienced in lua.

Or if you have any other ideas, just let me know!
Thanks!

both are an option (but don't use double, rounding is an issue)

1: If you use the first 4 bytes of the string you will be left with pointers that currently point to a valid memory location where the first 4 bytes match that string.
Sure, you can get some garbage, but a few restarts later and that's cleared up

2:
first execute this lua function:

Thanks so much, the lua solution worked perfectly!
