Table 121 describes the arguments for the Siebel Library Peek method.
Table 121. Arguments for the Siebel Library Peek Method
|
|
address |
Identifies the address in memory that this method uses to read data. |
dataType |
The type of data that this method returns. You can specify one of the following types:
- UWORD8
- SWORD8
- UWORD16
- SWORD16
- UWORD24
- SWORD24
- UWORD32
- SWORD32
- FLOAT32
- FLOAT64
- FLOAT80
The default value is UWORD8. You can add the following prefix on some types:
- S for signed
- U for unsigned
The numeric suffix specifies the number of bytes to get. An example of a numeric suffix is 8 or 16. FLOAT80 is not available in Win32. |
Example
The following example uses the Siebel Library Peek method: TheApplication().TraceOn("c:\\eScript_trace.txt","allocation","all");
var v = new Buffer("Now");
// Collect "Now", the original value, for display.
TheApplication().Trace(v);
// Get the address of the first byte of v, "N"
var vPtr = SElib.pointer(v);
// Get the "N"
var p = SElib.peek(vPtr);
// Convert "N" to "P"
SElib.poke(vPtr,p+2);
// Display "Pow"
TheApplication().Trace(v);
TheApplication().TraceOff();
This example produces the following output: COMMENT,Now
COMMENT,Pow
