Chapter 12: Debugger Commands
Memory Block_Operation Search
Memory Block_Operation Search
The Memory Block_Operation Search command searches the block of
memory specified by < addr> ..< addr> for the specified expression < expr> or
expression string< expr_string> . The size qualifier (Byte, Word, or Long)
specifies the size of an expression or each expression in an expression string. A
Memory Block_Operation Search command given without parameters
continues the search of a previous Memory Search command given with the
Once qualifier. The Repeatedly qualifier causes the search to repeat.
You can specify expression strings as ASCII characters enclosed in quotation
marks and/or as a list of values separated by commas. If the strings do not fit
the specified size evenly, all expressions in an expression string will be padded
or truncated to the size specified by the size qualifiers.
If you specify the Once qualifier, the search stops when the expression is
found. If you specify the Repeatedly qualifier, the debugger repeatedly
searches for the specified expression, displaying each match until it reaches the
end of the block or until you press CTRL C.
When you execute the Memory Block_Operation Search command with the
Once qualifier, subsequent Memory Block_Operation Search commands that
are executed without expression parameters cause the debugger to continue
searching through the originally specified address range starting from where it
found the last match. If the expression or expression string is not found in the
specified block, the debugger displays the message Not found.
