Hello, pretty simple question, if i know whats stored inside a register somewhere, is there any way to search for it?

Not like you can memory because the registers are constantly changing, nothing is going to stay in a register for any significant length of time (meaning more than a couple function calls at the most).

Think of memory as the filing cabinet where you store papers showing how much money a business has made, what it's spent, the graphs used in meetings etc. and registers as the calculators used to calculate that information. They are used for so many different things at different times.

Having said that you can use the "Break and Trace" feature of CE to do something kind of similar. Right click a line of code in the memory viewer, and set the stop condition to something like EBX == 0x172FF38 and CE will trace through the code from that point until EBX becomes that value or it reaches the max number of instructions. It's probably not very useful unless you're already close to code that's setting or using the value you care about however.

It's possible someone else knows of another way to do it with CE, but I don't.
