Hi Guys I have some problem with C++ its give me error C2601

C2601:Compare: local function definitions are illegal
C2601:FindPatte rn: local function definitions are illegal

	bool Compare(const BYTE* pData, const BYTE* bMask, const char* szMask)
	{
		for (; *szMask; ++szMask, ++pData, ++bMask)
		if (*szMask == 'x' && *pData != *bMask)
			return false;
		return (*szMask) == NULL;
	}


	DWORD FindPattern(DWORD Address, DWORD offset, BYTE* bMask, char* szMask)
	{
		for (DWORD i = 0; i < offset; i++)
		if (Compare((BYTE*)(Address + i), bMask, szMask)) return (DWORD)(Address + i);
		return 0;
	}

Thanks

Solved. I did put all codes in another class.

I have no idea what you solved but your reported error is not in the code you posted.

What class are you talking about? All the code looks like C and there are no classes in C.
