'''function''' getAddressSafe(''AddressString'', ''local'' OPTIONAL) ''':''' integer

Passes the given string to Cheat Engine's symbol handler and returns the corresponding address as an integer, or nil if not found. Similar to [[Lua:getAddress|getAddress]] when errorOnLookup is false, but returns nil instead. Can be a module name or an export. Set ''local'' to true if you wish to query the symbol table of the CE process.
