    float routines

    ok i have made a routine for finding floats in an array of bytes. However the routine finds floats where it is not supposed to, and i cant understand for the live life of me why

    Code:
    float *ptr = NULL;
    for(int buffypart = 0; buffypart < READSPURT; ++buffypart)
    					{
    						ptr = (float*)&bytebuffy[buffypart];
    						if(*ptr == searchnum)
    						{
    							g_FoundCount++;
    							Addresses1[g_FoundCount] = readbase + buffypart;
    						}
    					}
    
    ok and g_FoundCount is added too many times i am sure. Why :)

    Try this.
    Code:
    float *ptr = NULL;
    for(int buffypart = 0; buffypart < READSPURT;)
    					{
    						ptr = (float*)&bytebuffy[buffypart];
    						if(*ptr == searchnum)
    						{
    							g_FoundCount++;
    							Addresses1[g_FoundCount] = readbase + buffypart;
    							buffypart += sizeof(float);
    						}
    						else
    							++buffypart;
    				}
