I think you use the
GetOpenFileName()to open the exe file the you need an handle in order to open file usingCreateFileAHANDLE hFile=CreateFile(filename, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, NULL, NULL);at this point you should have an handle to your exe file, now we read it into memory using ReadFileADWORD BR=0; //numbers of bytes read by readfile char *tempbuff=(char*)calloc(dFileSize,sizeof(char)); ReadFile(hFile, tempbuff, dFileSize, &BR, NULL); if( BR < dFileSize){ //Process the error, since not all file could have been read }now we search the string you're looking forchar *p=NULL; p=strstr(tempbuff,"TEXT_TO_BE_SEARCHED"); if( p==NULL) // no TEXT_TO_BE_SEARCHED found in tempbuff else you've the first occurrencefor writing you do the same using WriteFile, bye Paolo -
