title: How to read some data from a Windows application memory?
body: <p>I have an application, which displays me some data. I need to attach to this app's process, find the data I need in memory (one single number, actually), and save it somewhere. This application doesn't seem to use standard windows controls, so things aren't going to be as simple as reading controls data using AutoIt or something similar.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I'm a self-learner database guy and have quite shallow knowledge about windows apps debugging. Not even sure if I asked my question correctly enough. </p>
  
  <p>So, can you give me some starter guidelines about, say, what should I read first, and general directions I should work on?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
