Syntax:
byteValue` = peek [Byte](address&)
shortIntValue% = peek Word(address&)
longValue& = peek Long(address&)
Shorthand syntax:
byteValue` = |address&|
shortIntValue% = {address&}
longValue& = [address&]
Description:
The peek
functions look at the 1, 2 or 4 bytes of data which begin at address&
, and return them as a byte integer, short integer or long integer value, respectively. The address&
should be a long integer expression, or a Pointer
or Handle
variable. The value returned by a peek
function will be interpreted either as a signed or unsigned value, depending on what type of variable it's assigned to. If the value is not assigned to any variable, it's usually interpreted as a signed value.
