Way to display byte ptr watch in OllyDbg?

Is there a way to display a byte pointer as a watch in OllyDbg?

For example, if you enter as a watch an expression like [ecx+ebx] you might get a value like "FF084001", but if you want the byte pointer, the least significant byte (which is 01 here) there seems to be no way to display just that one byte. I tried entering:

byte ptr [ecx+ebx]

and got the error "Unrecognized identifier".

Solution

  • Try [BYTE ecx+ebx]. Found in the documentation (help.pdf) by keyword expression.
