I am storing various filenames in my array which are partitioned by null bytes. When debugging, I am only able to see the first filename. So, for instance if my array is like this: hello.txt00000hello2.txt, I am only able to see hello.txt. How can I print the entire array? I have trouble finding such command elsewhere.
You can use x/999bc, where 999 is the size of your array, for instance:
