Shared variables

[mantonelli]

Hi,

I have a compiled program, without it source and documentation, but I know it create some shared variables.

I need to use these variables in another program but I don´t know their names, data types etc.

There is a way to look all loaded shared variables and get information about?

Thanks,
Matheus.

If you're on unix run "strings" against the r-code to get a list of possible variable names (and lots of other gunk). You could easily write a 4GL program to generate every combination of those strings and the possible data types until you determine which ones are actually variables

How can you know that you need to use these things if you don't know their names and data types?

There are some r-code decompilers of varying quality floating around that might be able to help -- but I have no personal experience with them.
