Hi all,

I'm trying to write a script for the debugger which obtains data and
dumps it into a specified file.

The problem is that I have to find the memory address of a specified
variable.  The memory address is what I will use for the "memdump"
command to put the data into the file.  I cannot just hardcode the
address location because it changes.

I'm not sure how to store the memory address location using the command
prompt, and I have searched somewhat thoroughly through the debugger
help manual.

Thanks for your help!

Which debugger?

gdb, IBM Ada Developer, Greenhills, etc ?

Perhaps you can just write a an Ada procedure that does the write to a 
file via the 'address of the variable and call the procedure from 
whatever debugger script you are using.

GreenHills.  I'll try the procedure.  Thanks for your response.  I'll
try the procedure.
