To find bytes, words (little-endian) and strings in the Spectrum's memory

  1. On the Edit menu, click Find to open the Find dialog box.

  2. Type the data you want to search for in the Find what box and click Find Next.

  3. Click Find Next again to find more instances of the data.

Tip

  • If you don't quote a string, Spectaculator will treat it as an assembly language instruction and search for the resulting opcodes.

  • You can also use the shortcut key, Ctrl+F, to open the Find dialog box.

Note

  • Here are a few examples of the types of searches possible:

Search string

Comments

35

Find occurrences of the byte value 35.

$35

Find occurrences of the hexadecimal byte value $35.

00035

Find occurrences of the (little-endian) word value 00035.

$0035

Find occurrences of the hexadecimal (little-endian) word value $0035.

#0035

Find occurrences of the hexadecimal (little-endian) word value $0035.

0035h

Find occurrences of the hexadecimal (little-endian) word value $0035.

0x0035

Find occurrences of the hexadecimal (little-endian) word value $0035.

"Sinclair"

Find occurrences of the string "Sinclair", without the trailing zero.

DEC (HL)

Assembles the given instruction and searches for the resulting opcodes. In this case it searches for $35.

35, 36, 37, 38

Find occurrences of a byte sequence.

$35, $36, $37, $38

Find occurrences of a hexadecimal byte sequence.

#35, 36h, $37, 38h

Same as the previous one but using different hex syntax.

$0035, $0036, $0037, $0038

Find occurrences of a hexadecimal (little-endian) word sequence.
