ReadLockString - Read a data string that was written to memory with LockString

Syntax

<cString> := ReadLockString( <nAddress> )

Parameters

<nAddress>

Address of allocated memory block that was returned by LockString or LockNullString.

Return value

String found at <nAddress>.

Description

ReadLockString returns the data found in memory at address <nAddress> as a string. Unlike UnlockString it does not release the memory block. Use ReadLockString only with memory addresses that were returned by LockString or LockNullString.

If the locked string is of type STRINGTYPE_TEXT, STRINGTYPE_UNICODETEXT or STRINGTYPE_BINARY0, only the characters up to and not including the string terminator are read.
