Is there a easy way to do a memory dump in Livecode? Can I read the blocks of only memory for that variable? In c the blocks are a array numbered from 0 to the size of the variable which would be the length of the variable in Livecode and you can access individual blocks and that is how you write a null character to each block.
If you need to dump all of the memory on your machine that might help but it would be better to dump only the memory you want to look at. Another thing to consider about dumping the memory is the result are not always predictable. If you did not write a null character to each block of that memory when you dump the memory it may not show up one time but will be there in another dump. That is why in c if you want to put empty into a variable you can set the first block to null and when you check the variable it will be empty but in a memory dump the memory may be empty and it may have some or all of the info in that block range except the first block which is the one you set to null. So the secure method you use bzero or a similar way to set every block to null.
