I've noticed that string list manipulation API (strlist.hpp from IDA SDK) is not included with IDAPython 0.8.0. Does anybody have a ready made fix for it? How difficult would it be to include it in IDAPython? Are there any other functions available in IDAPython that deal with strings?

Your wish is my command. ;) A new version of the plugin, that has strlist wrapped, is coming soon. If you feel adventurous, you can fetch a copy of version 0.8.93 from the pre-releases page. There are Windows binaries for IDA 5.0 and Python 2.4 & 2.5. This example will list all the strings from a 4KiB block, starting at the cursor: `refresh_strlist(here(), here()+0x1000) for i in range(get_strlist_qty()): si = string_info_t() get_strlist_item(i, si) print "%x %d %d" % (si.ea, si.length, si.type)`

Thanks, I've tried it and it seems to work fine. Still, I have another question ;-) How do I get the actual string, once I have the EA and the length of the string. I think IDA API provides get_bytes() and get_many_bytes() for such thing, but it seems to me they are not available in IDAPython. BTW, IDAPython rocks!
