Read/Writting Floats,Doubles,Longs, and String.

Hi, I've been researching all over Google for how to Read/Write Floats, Doubles, Longs and String to memory. I believe I have the reading Longs, and Floats working properly. I'll post my Module (which contains all my Read/Writting). If you could as to be so kind and Help me. It'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Here's my Module:

Code:

I am pretty sure you can pass a byte array as the buffer to the WriteProcess memory call. Strings are either going to be fixed length or, more than likely, null terminated. To write a string, you could probably convert it to bytes and then add a null terminator and write it to the process. Obviously if it is different than the current string in that memory location, that could cause problems in the other app.

For reading strings, if it is a null terminated string (look for a 00 in your hex editor), you can just read chunks of 4 bytes until you hit a 00.

If you are able to, could you post an example of how to do it?
