stringposition function

[corelanc0d3r]

Feature request:

function takes an address as input

if that address points at a memory position that contains ascii-printable data, then

• read back in memory to find the start of the string (i.e. a non-ascii printable character or a non-accessible page)
• read forward again to determine the length of the string (until a null (double null in case of unicode) or non-ascii printable character)

the function needs to return:

• if the address points to a string yes or no
• the start address of the string
• the position of the input address inside the string
• the value at the input address (taking architecture into consideration - 4 characters on 32bit, 8chars on 64bit)
• the length of the string (in characters and in bytes)

the string can be ansi, or unicode. in case of unicode, count the number of characters (i.e. one character, 2 bytes)

add the function as a separate command, but also allow it to function in "silent" mode, i.e. being called from another command and only producing the requested information
